Water, quality water for drinking and bathing is essential to living a healthy life. While in large cities water filtration and cleaning occur for the population en mass, in small towns and rural areas of Cleveland County, North Carolina and surrounding counties / states inspecting for water quality is important to maintain. The North Carolina Division of Public Health recommends testing well water every year for coliform bacteria. Furthermore, information reports that owing to that many wells in North Carolina have too much lead, arsenic, iron, manganese, low pH, and harmful bacteria testing every two years for heavy metals, nitrates, nitrites, lead, copper, and volatile organic compounds is recommended, as is testing the water for pesticides every 5 years.
Two primary sources of water are of concern: groundwater and surface water.
In rural areas groundwater may be the only source of water thus it is important to test the water for the indicators of bacterial contamination such as E. coli (Escherichia coli) and Coliforms. · E. coli bacteria are found only in the digestive systems of people and animals. When identified in drinking water there is a good probability that animal waste or human waste is entering the well from a nearby source. · Coliforms are bacteria found in animal waste, sewage, as well as soil and vegetation. When found in drinking water concern may be that polluted surface water may be entering the well. As well water can affect the health of everyone who consumes it it is important to take actions to take to protect the water and ensure that it is suitable for potable use.
