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.
