Ground Water

EPA regulations that protect public drinking water systems do not apply to privately owned wells. As a result, owners of private wells are responsible for ensuring that their water is safe from contaminants.

Some experts believe contaminants found in our ground water are a major source of health problems which include cancer, heart disease, and lead poisoning. These chronic illnesses can be caused by the body's absorption of contaminants. Water contaminants can not only affect human health, but they can also affect the performance of livestock and pets. Contaminants can corrode fixtures, stain and deteriorate clothing and household surfaces, and alter the taste of drinking water.

Foundation Analytical Laboratory can help owners of private wells be assured that their water supply is safe for consumption or any other use. We provide standard testing as well as customized testing packages to meet specific needs.


Contact us to inquire about submitting a water sample for analysis. We’ll make certain you have instructions on how to collect and submit a sample to ensure you get an accurate representation of what may be in your ground water.
