Water Testing in Douglas County
If you rely on a private well for your drinking water, you are responsible for monitoring its quality. Unlike municipal water supplies, private wells are not tested or regulated by public utilities. What comes out of your tap is whatever your well produces — and without testing, you simply don't know what that is. Gilbert Pump & Well Service offers professional water testing to give Douglas County well owners a clear picture of their water quality.
Water testing is also a common requirement in real estate transactions involving properties with private wells. Buyers and lenders frequently require a water test before closing, and having a reliable, experienced local company conduct that test matters.

- Coliform bacteria and E. coli — the most critical safety concern for well water
