WELL WATER QUALITY SEARCH
The search tools below provides a search for well water quality test results. It allows you
to locate reported partial chemistry water quality data in our database by searching specific addresses, a range of
addresses, or a combination of township and section. The chemicals analyzed may include nitrate as nitrogen,
nitrite as nitrogen, fluoride, chloride, hardness, sodium, iron, sulfate, and arsenic. These samples were
collected for a variety of reasons, such as a property sale, new construction or routine monitoring.
In the event you need additional information about the results of your search or for other issues
resulting from the usage of this search tool, please contact us.
