Our office recommends that private well owners, at a minimum, have their well water tested annually for bacteria and nitrate levels. In addition, anytime a well owner experiences a power outage that lasts long enough for your water system to lose all pressure, the water should be tested once the power is restored.
Under our Grants-to-Counties Program, Story County residents can contact this office to set up an appointment for free private well water testing for any of the following: Coliform bacteria, nitrate, manganese, or arsenic.
