I have had my well water tested for bacterial contaminants and metals.   It's not cheap, 4500 for a total of 9000. But results are Dept. of Health certified. Bacterial results were reported within a few days and were <.1 so OK. Other contaminants take more than a week so still awaiting results.

To clarify. I had the water tested before and after filtration/treatment so 4500 for each sample point.

Update. Finally got all the water test results back today from National Lab. Bio test was good in both samples. Subdivision well water was within range on all criteria except color and turbidity. No arsenic, nitrites or metals out of spec. BUT it hadn't rained for over a week when I took the sample. After a rain the water is dirty due to ground water contamination because the well is not properly sealed.

The sample sent from the house after our softening and filtration system was really clean. Color and turbidity 0.  Wife asked me how pure and I explained that in scientific terms it is as pure as angel pee.
