Testing of Private Residential Wells

Recently the Town of Warren has developed procedures where every private well in the Town of Warren will be tested every four years. One fourth of the wells in the town will be selected to have their well water tested. Those selected will be notified writing and can choose to participate or not. After accepting the offer to have their well tested a date will be set up for testing.

Standard Testing will be for...

  • Coliform bacteria
  • Nitrates
  • Acidity (PH)
  • Bicarbonate (alkalinity)
  • Calcium and magnesium (hardness)
  • Chloride
  • Dissolved minerals (conductivity)
  • Corrosivity index

Some residents will be selected for a more in depth test which will test for...

  • Pesticides
  • Herbicides
  • Volatile organic compounds

Each resident will receive a written copy of the test results and a copy will be kept on file in the Town's records.

The Town of Warren will pay for all testing.

Remediation of any unsafe conditions discovered in the above testing will be the responsibility of the well owner.
