What to do next

  1. Test your own well. County numbers cannot tell you what is in your water. See which tests fit your well.
  2. Use a lab certified by Wisconsin. Certified labs in Wisconsin.
  3. Compare your results with the EPA limits (arsenic 10 µg/L, nitrate 10 mg/L as N). If a result is above a limit, contact your county or state health department.
  4. If a result is high: arsenic guide · nitrate guide · bacteria guide · salesperson checklist.
  5. Test again every year for bacteria and nitrate. Get a yearly reminder.
