Is your mountain home serviced by a water well?  When you bought your home you would have had a well testing company check your well water for recovery rate (gallons per minute over a at least a two-hour period) and water quality. Water Safety Tips in Conifer CO

Have you had your water quality tested recently?

Have you checked your water quality since you moved in?  Many times Buyers move into their homes and never check the water again.  Then at the time they sell, we discover that the water is not potable.  Most frequently we see Coliform bacteria in the wells.  Many weather conditions can affect your water quality.  Bacteria is often present with heavy snowfall, Spring runoff and heavy rainfall.

How to have your well water tested.

Local water well testers have Water Sample Kits available for FREE.  For approximately $75.00 they will mail your test to the Colorado State Lab for results.  Remember, with a water well you are not paying a monthly water bill and for the price of one-month’s bill you can put your mind at ease and know your family’s drinking water is safe.

Should your water results come back with concerns, there are always remedies available. If you find you need assistance or recommendations, contact Susan Sharnas, CMAS or Tyler Westcott, CMAS from Homes At New Heights/Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Your Mile High and Mountain Realtors.
