Water Testing Process

Water quality is essential to many different industries in Virginia. We use test strips and send all samples to a lab for further evaluation.

Keep Test Records

Keep record of your water tests. The information should include the date and test outcome. Comparing recent results to previous can help overview the health. Water Testing documents are extremely important, and should always be present during real estate transactions.

How Often Should Your Water Be Tested

The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) recommends owners with wells on their property to test their water at least annually for bacteria, nitrates, and any contaminants of local concern. Consider more frequent testing for your water if:

  • You experience changes in taste, odor, or appearance, or if a problem occurs such as a broken well cap, inundation by floodwaters, or a new contamination source
  • Your well has a history of contamination
  • The home’s septic system has malfunctioned recently
  • Family members or house guests have recurrent incidents of gastrointestinal illness
  • An infant is living in the home, or
  • To monitor the efficiency and performance of home water treatment equipment.
