These assessments include a thorough on-site inspection of the well system to identify potential vulnerabilities, as well as the detection of sources that could lead to well contamination. The process involves water quality screening to test for harmful substances such as Arsenic, Iron, Nitrate, E. coli, and other contaminants.
