Well water is unregulated meaning the commonwealth of Pennsylvania does not require your well water to be tested although the EPA recommends testing your private well annually for total coliform bacteria, nitrates, total dissolved solids, and pH levels. If you suspect the presence of other contaminants, you should test for those also. You can also contact your local health department to find out what substances may be common in your area's groundwater.
