“In the United States, more than 23 million households get their drinking water from private wells. Unlike public drinking water systems, these wells are not regulated for safety by federal or state government. They can become polluted by many substances and cause kids to get sick.”

“If your family drinks water from a private well, it’s important to test the water regularly to make sure it’s safe. It’s also a good idea to ask about testing if your children drink well water at child care, school, camps or when your family travels.”
