Whether stepping across a clear stream deep in the woods or filling up a bottle at a gas station during a road trip, we’ve all wondered: “Is this water safe to drink?” Unfortunately, many Teton County residents must ask this about their drinking water daily. While some get their drinking water from public water systems that are required to perform regular water quality monitoring by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), many residents get their drinking water from private wells. Water quality from private wells is not required to be checked, so it is up to individuals to test these wells.
How well do you know your well?
