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 can include cancer, heart disease and lead poisoning. These chronic illnesses are brought on by the body's absorption of these contaminants. Water contaminants not only affect human health, but they can also affect the performance of livestock and pets. Contaminants can also corrode fixtures, stain and deteriorate clothing and household surfaces, and alter the taste of food and drinking water.
Foundation Analytical Laboratory can help owners of private wells be assured that their water supply is safe for consumption or any other final use. We can provide standard testing as well as customize testing packages to meet specific needs or to assess the presences of suspected compounds.
Contact us to inquire about submitting a water sample for analysis as well as the costs of performing the analysis that need. We’ll make sure you have the right information on how to take and submit a sample to ensure you get an accurate sample of what may be in your ground water source.
