Got our water well drilled yesterday ...

[Bob Vento]

We finally got our water well drilled yesterday. About 30 feet deep and the water came out surprisingly clear after all of the crap came out and with no smell.

The well guy put some in his mouth, swished it around, spit and said we had a great well. I did the same and tasted nothing in particular. I did not swallow the water just swished and spit like him.

We have to get the water tested ... we thought about using a pool place to test my sample but don't think that will give me all the info I want to know about the contents of our well water. Any suggestions of where I can get is tested?

Hi, We have a well too and it turns out that our county actually will test well water once a year per household with no charge. If there is a problem they will test again after it has been 'corrected' to confirm the correction.  I'm not sure how wide spread that practice is but it would be worth checking with your local county office to see. Even if they don't pay for it I'm sure they will know about it.  Every county has some regulations. . . Good luck
