Get your well tested at a Arizona-certified laboratory. We list certification programs by state.
These figures are USGS area estimates: statistical groundwater models describing how likely elevated contaminant levels are across a county. They are not designed to predict the concentration in any single well. Only testing your own well reveals its water quality.
