Your Private
Water Supply
Should Be
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) A private water system is
just that - private. The quality of
the private water supply is the
responsibility of the homeowner.
State laws do not require testing of
private water supplies and regula
tory agencies do not regularly
monitor the quality of private sup
plies. Therefore, the only way a
homeowner can be certain that the
water is safe to drink is to have the
water tested periodically.
To protect family members and
livestock, the private water supply
should be tested to see if it meets
state and federal bacterial and
chemical standards. It is possible
to run a comprehensive water
analysis, but this can be very
expensive. The most common and
serious health concerns are usual
ly found with four and five tests.
These include coliform bacteria,
nitrates, pH, total dissolved solids,
chloride, and sulfate.
Coliform bacteria indicates the
presence of disease-causing
organisms that originate in sew
age, soil, or manure. Nitrates are
of concern when infants under six
months drink water. Water pH is a
measure of acidity and can effect
pipe corrosion. Total dissolved
solids are related to hardness,
taste, and corrosion. Chloride can
originate from highway run-off
sewage or manure. Sulfates can
affect the taste and odor of the
water.
The Dauphin County coopera
tive extension office is offering
private water users the opportuni
ty to participate in a one-time
group water testing program. The
program offers three testing
options. Test #1 - Coliform Bac
teria - $9.00; Test #2 - Coliform
Bacteria, Nitrates, pH, and Total
Dissolved Solids - $25.00; and
Test #3 - #2 plus Chlorides and
Sulfate - $4O. Sample test kits can
be purchased from the Dauphin
County cooperative extension
office, 1451 Peters Mountain
Road, Dauphin, PA 17018 during
office hours the week of February
20. Collection instructions will be
included. Samples will be col
lected on February 27 and for
warded to Cumberland Analytical
Labs, Chambersburg. Results will
be available two to three weeks
later. In April, there will be a
water clinic to discuss private
water supplies and the results of
