What to test for

Every year, test for total coliform bacteria, nitrate, total dissolved solids and pH, as EPA recommends for private wells. Source
Nitrate: USGS finds higher nitrate in shallow groundwater under farmland. Parts of Indiana are intensively farmed, so test nitrate every year, and before using the water for infant formula. Source
Arsenic: USGS maps show naturally occurring arsenic in groundwater in parts of Indiana and its region. Test at least once, then as your lab or health department advises. Source
PFAS: test if you live near an airport, military base, landfill, or industrial or firefighting-foam site. EPA explains private well PFAS testing. Source
After flooding, test for bacteria before drinking the water again, as EPA advises. Source
