The information on this page is intended to assist Real Estate Professionals in understanding their responsibilities when it comes to buying or selling a home that has a drinking water well.

After you have obtained as much information about the well's history and its management logs, it is important to have the well water tested by a certified professional. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends testing for bacteria, nitrate/nitrite, and pH, and recommends consulting with experts about the need to test for contaminants of local concern, such as arsenic, lead or radon. This test should be scheduled just prior to having a property listed. Testing requirements vary by state.
