Professor Molly Kile shares information and recommendations in an article about tap water safety.

“You can’t always taste, smell or see dangerous particles in well water,” notes Molly Kile, ScD, the co-Principal Investigator of Oregon State University’s ASPIRE Children's Environmental Health Center. Private well water is not regulated by the EPA, so the only way to know what is in your drinking water is to get it tested. Kile recommends testing your private well water yearly.
