The clearest, best tasting water may contain bacteria, nitrates, and nitrites that go undetected until it is too late. A survey coordinated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 41% of wells may be contaminated with coliform bacteria. Whether you are on a public or private water supply, the only way to be sure your water is safe is to test it yourself.
For only $14.95, you will have peace of mind about the safety of your water.

PurTest� LEAD is an EPA-based method designed to easily allow you to screen your water for dangerous levels of lead.
Treating for lead contamination is critical since lead poisoning can present serious health risks such as gastrointestinal disorders, paralysis, brain and spinal cord damage especially in children. For pregnant women, lead contamination can result in miscarriage.
Most municipal plants do test for lead, but lead contamination is most likely to come from the distribution network or even our home's plumbing system. Older homes often have lead in the pipes, newer homes often have lead in the soldered pipe fittings. The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates more than 40,000 citizens use water that contains harmful levels of lead.
Initial testing should be done every 6 months, then every two years. It is critical to check the primary faucet used for drinking and cooking water, usually the kitchen tap. It's best to check every faucet: each PurTest� kit provides material for 2 tests.
PurTest� Lead instantly detects harmful lead levels above
EPA standards 15 ppb (parts per billion). $14.95

Arsenic sometimes naturally occurs in water and can be found in public and private water supplies. Mining operations, semiconductor manufacturing, use of wood preservatives are some of the ways water can be contaminated with this poison.
If you have a private well you should test for arsenic at least annually because arsenic is often found at levels over 100 times the U.S. EPA safe standard.
