Why Water & Bacteria Testing Matters

Water contamination is often invisible to the eye and odorless, but it can carry serious health risks. Testing is especially critical if:

  • Your property relies on a private well or spring-fed water system

  • You’ve experienced flooding or heavy runoff near your property

  • Your well or water system is older and may not be fully sealed

  • Septic tanks or livestock areas are located nearby

  • You manage a commercial or industrial facility where water safety is a compliance concern

Contaminated water can lead to intestinal infections, dysentery, hepatitis, and other illnesses, and can also cause taste, odor, or staining issues that affect your plumbing and fixtures.

Common Sources of Water Contamination

Water can become contaminated through:

  • Human and animal waste runoff from feedlots, pastures, and residential areas

  • Seepage from septic tanks or sewage systems

  • Surface water infiltration after storms or flooding

  • Open or poorly sealed wells that allow rodents, insects, or animals to enter

  • Old, hand-dug or brick-lined wells without watertight casings

Older and shallow wells are especially vulnerable, while newer, properly sealed wells are less likely to experience bacterial contamination.
