[QUOTE="ny_grass, post: 837098, member: 8237"] I tried but the nearest place that could do a nitrate/nitrite test was about about an hour (round trip) away and I just couldn't make it down there. I assumed that there was coliform/bacteria in the water and we'd stopped drinking it long ago. Are there other tests that you'd recommend? People on this thread have suggested that a 20' dug well might be unsafe given the "stuff that's out there today" (paraphrase) but what does this actually mean given that I'm at the top of a hill in a very rural area? Are we talking about air-borne contaminants leeching into my ground water? Might we be drinking PCBs and dioxins from the heavy industry that existed within 50 miles of my place within the last 50 years? How does one know, other than expensive tests? [/QUOTE]
