Is my water safe to drink?
Q: Is my water safe to drink?
A: It’s not more of a question of safety; it is more “do you like the taste of your water?” If you are drinking water from a municipal well, your water should be perfectly safe to drink. If you are drinking from a private well water supply, you may want to find out if the land your property is on was ever used as farm land. If it was, you would want to test for nitrates if you have an infant or a pregnant woman utilizing the water supply. The DNR advises that you test your water once a year for safety. If you ever notice a change in the quality of your water we would also recommend that you have it tested.
