Well Water Testing

Cooperative Private Well Testing Program

This program was started by the National Center for Water Quality Research in 1987 for the testing of private well water in Ohio. More than 25,000 wells have been tested from Ohio's 88 counties. Currently, the program is offered nationwide and, to date, almost 30,000 wells have been tested from 25 other states. If you would like to know whether chemical contaminants are in your well water, we can test your well water for inorganic compounds like nitrate and metals, as well as pesticides and other organic compounds like fuels and solvents.  Use the links (at left) to find the answers you need concerning your family’s water supply.

Sponsor a private well testing program in your community.

The Cooperative Private Well Testing Program gives your organization the opportunity to sponsor a well testing program in your community or among your members. This program is designed to support local groundwater education and private source water protection by combining locally sponsored private well testing programs with the development of detailed local data bases on rural drinking water quality.
