USE RECOMMENDATIONS
Drinking and Cooking Guidance
❑ Your water is suitable for drinking and cooking based on these inorganic results only.
Based on the test results, your well water is not suitable for drinking and cooking.
Washing, Cleaning, Bathing, and Showering Guidance
E Your water is suitable for washing, cleaning, bathing, and showering based on these inorganic results only.
❑ Showering and bathing time should be limited because of the potential exposure to inorganics via
absorption through the skin and inhalation of water vapor.
SPECIAL USE RECOMMENDATIONS
For Individuals on a no or low sodium restricted diet
• Sodium levels exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) Health Advisory level for
sodium of 20 mg/l. The North Carolina Division of Public Health recommends that only individuals on no
or low sodium restricted diets not use this water for drinking or cooking. It may be used for washing,
cleaning, bathing, and showering based on the inorganic chemical results only.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
IIIRe-sampling is recommended in 2 years.
I I Immediate re-sampling is recommended to confirm results prior to installing a treatment system.
Re-sample for lead and/or copper. Take a first draw and 30 second flush sample inside the house
(preferably the kitchen sink) and a first draw and 4 minute flush sample at the well head to determine the
source of the lead and/or copper.

Washing, Cleaning, Bathing, and Showering Guidance
❑✓ Your water is suitable for washing, cleaning, bathing, and showering based on the organic results only.
❑ Showering and bathing time should be limited because of the potential exposure to organics via absorption
through the skin and inhalation of water vapor.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
ORe-sampling is recommended in 5 years.
❑ Immediate re-sampling is recommended to confirm results prior to installing a treatment system.
❑ You may want to install a treatment system or consider other options like bottled water or connecting to a
public water supply, if possible. Treatment system options for organic contaminants are: Granular Activated
Carbon(GAC) filters and Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems. Consult with your local well water contractor to
determine the best option for your residence. If you purchase a water treatment system, resampling is
recommended after installing the system to ensure that the treatment system is working as intended. Note
that systems will require ongoing maintenance to ensure proper operation.
