When you have your water tested for other types of contaminants, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maximum contaminant levels and guidelines should be used to determine if your water is safe to drink. The Water Systems Council wellcare® water testing information page offers additional guidance on well water testing and understanding your water analysis report.
The State Hygienic Laboratory at the University of Iowa is also a great resource and offers a number of documents for private wells. "Reading your water analysis report" is a document that can help you understand how to interpret private drinking water analysis reports based on their testing services.
