INORGANIC CHEMICAL ANALYSIS REPORT
Private well water information and recommendations
County: Name: 40191-f Sample Id Number: 2,oo /
Location: Reviewer
ANALYSIS REPORT
Your well water was tested for 15 metals, plus nitrates, nitrites, and pH. The results were evaluated using the
federal drinking water standards. The pH is a measure of the acidity of the water. Drinking water may
contain substances that can occur naturally in water or can be introduced'into the water from man-made
sources. (These recommendations are based on inorganic chemical analysis off.)
TEST RESULTS AND USE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your well water meets federal drinking water standards. Your water can be used for drinking,
cooking, washing, cleaning, bathing, and showering.
The following substance(s) exceeded federatdrinking water standards. Your water can be used for
drinking, cooking, washing, cleaning, bathing, and showering, but aesthetic problems such as bad
taste, odor, staining of porcelain, etc. may occur. You may want to install a household water
treatment system to address aesthetic problems.
Barium Cadmium Chromium Fluoride Iron Ma esium
Manganese Selenium Silver Sodium Zinc H
The following substance(s) exceeded federal drinking water standards: We recommend that your
well water not be used for drinking or cooking, unless you install a water treatment system to remove
the circled substance(s). However, it may be used for washing, cleaning, bathing, and showering.
Arsenic Barium Cadmium Chromium Copper Fluoride Lead Iron Ma esium
Manganese Merc Nitrate/Nitrite Selenium Silver Sodium Zinc
Re-sampling is recommended in months.
Re-sample for lead and /or copper. Take a first draw, 5 minute, and 15 minute sample inside the
house (preferably the kitchen) and if possible a first draw, 5 minute and a 15 minute sample at the
well head to determine the source of the lead and/or copper. Contact your local health department for
re-sampling assistance.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Routine well water sampling for the above substances is recommended every two to three years. Sample
your well water when there is a known problem or contamination in your area, after repairs or replacement of
your well, or after a flooding event. Contact your local health department for sampling instructions.
