Well Testing includes bacteriological testing of Total coliforms & E. coli required for bank loans or, own knowledge, in N.C & S.C

Water from private wells provides safe water for about 40 million Americans each day. A contaminated water well sample does not necessarily mean that the whole aquifer is contaminated but contaminated aquifers are usually difficult to clean up to drinking water standards. When contamination does occur, the well must be chlorinated/disinfected by using a process that injects a chlorine solution to kill bacteria and microorganisms into the well casing, the pump and associated piping, the gravel pack, and the immediate area of the aquifer around the casing. In addition, water samples must be collected and processed for verification of the satisfactory bacteriological quality of water.

Wells are chlorinated/disinfected:

• Prior to using a new well for potable water service
• Prior to using an existing well that may have been contaminated during maintenance, service, construction, flood, etc.
• When a well has tested positive for coliform bacteria
