What to Look For in Water Testing
At minimum, test for coliform bacteria, nitrates, pH, and hardness. For properties near agricultural land, consider testing for pesticides. FHA and VA loans have specific water testing requirements — ask your lender. Many services offer real estate packages that bundle the most common tests.
