Private Well Water Testing in Alaska
Alaska is outside the USGS national groundwater models, so we don't have county-level well-risk estimates here โ but here's how to test a private well in Alaska.
Private-well testing in Alaska
There's no USGS national groundwater model for Alaska โ Alaska and Hawaii fall outside the federal arsenic and nitrate datasets we use โ so we don't have county-level well-risk estimates here.
If you rely on a private well in Alaska, test it directly: Alaska certified testing labs and what to test your well for.
