Annual Well Water Testing Checklist
Annual Well Water Testing Checklist
If you have a private well in Citrus County, annual water testing is the most important thing you can do to protect your family's health and your home.
Why Annual Testing Matters
Unlike city water, private well water is not regulated or monitored by any government agency. You are solely responsible for knowing what's in your water. Water quality can change over time due to seasonal variations, nearby land use changes, aging well equipment, or natural geological shifts.
What to Test For Every Year
- Coliform bacteria — the most important safety test; should be absent
- Nitrates — especially important if you have infants or are pregnant
- pH — affects corrosion and treatment system performance
- Hardness — to monitor and size treatment systems correctly
- Iron — to verify iron removal system performance
- Hydrogen sulfide — to verify sulfur treatment performance
- TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) — overall water quality indicator
Test More Often If…
- You notice any change in taste, odor, or color
- There has been flooding near your well
- Nearby construction or agricultural activity has increased
- A family member has a gastrointestinal illness of unknown cause
- Your well is near a septic system
- You've had any work done on the well or plumbing
