Is There a Problem?
Be sure to have your water tested:
-
if there are
unexplained illnesses in the family.
-
if there is a
sudden or gradual change in taste, odor or color.
-
if visitors become
sick shortly after arriving as family members may have
developed a resistance to water contaminants.
-
if there is a
spill of chemicals or petroleum products near your well or
into the surface water that services your drinking water
supply.
-
if an oily sheen
appears when the water stands for a while.
