One of two things is true:  You either live in town, and get your water from the city’s water supply, or you live in the country, and have a privately owned water source, in the form of a spring or well.

Whichever of those two is the case in your situation, water testing in Front Royal, VA is probably more important than you realize for a number of different reasons, because the simple truth is that people can only go about 3 days without water.  You can last for weeks without food, but it’s down to just a few days when it comes to water.

If you live in town, you may never have even considered the notion of getting your water tested.  After all, most people assume that the town is in charge of that and they’ll make an announcement if there’s a problem and get right on fixing it.

There’s some truth in that, but there are also some uncomfortable limitations you should be aware of.  Cities and towns are required to provide safe drinking water for their citizens.  Of course, the meaning of the word “safe” is very broad and generally comes down to offering water that won’t outright kill you.  That’s very different than offering great tasting water that doesn’t have anything disgusting in it.

And we know that things like that sometimes happen.  It wasn’t all that long ago that the town of Flint, Michigan was in the news nearly every day because of the serious problems with their water supply, and unfortunately, based on the EPA’s own statistics on the subject, Flint isn’t unique.  Right now, as you’re reading these words, the EPA is tracking more than a thousand communities of all shapes and sizes that have water problems as bad as, if not worse than the ones Flint is still struggling with to this day.

All that to say, given how important water is, the safety of your water supply, whether supplied by the town or not, isn’t something you want to take chances with.  If nothing else, annual water testing in Front Royal, VA will give you the peace of mind that comes with definitely knowing that there are no significant issues.

Of course, it’s even more pressing if you live in the country because there is no government agency that’s tasked with the responsibility of making sure that the water coming out of privately owned wells and springs is safe to drink.  In those cases, the full responsibility for water safety falls on the shoulders of the individual well or spring owners, which makes annual water testing in the rural areas around Front Royal, VA absolutely critical.

Whatever your situation, we can help.  If you’re worried that there’s a problem with your water supply, wherever you’re getting it from, just give us a call.
