a source of tap water, you should get your water tested annually
for nitrate and coliform bacteria to detect contamination problems
early.
2. Call you local health department and ask about water quality in the area.
This will tell you what biological contaminants might be a specific problem
in your area.

farmers and farming. They will help you with any water quality concerns which
you may have.
