The Environmental Protection Agency strongly suggests testing private well water annually to ensure its free of problems like arsenic, bacteria, lead, radon and other contaminants.

Licensed real estate agents likely know that a home’s most recent water quality test must be shared at the time of sale if the home uses a private well, but there are many other well water regulations and guidelines set by the state that agents will want to keep in mind as well.
