Water Quality Testing
The DNR recommends you test your private well water annually for coliform bacteria and after you notice any change in how the water looks, tastes or smells. Even if your water looks, tastes and smells food, it can contain harmful bacteria and viruses. You may want to test for other contaminants like nitrate, arsenic or agricultural chemicals. More importantly remember to ask the current owners of any private well, who maintained the well and ask for any documents because when the property transfers the well inspection results and water test results are not reported to the DNR. The only paper work the DNR may have on the private well is the initial documentation when installed
Also each municipality may have its own requirements with the wells in there district for example The City of Madison requires each well in operation have a permit which can be obtained from the Madison Water Utility. The permits are only valid up to 5 years and become void at time of property sale. Contact the Madison Water Utility for Permit application.
