Oregon Domestic Well Safety Program
Interactive Map - Water Quality Results

NEW: Domestic Well Safety Program (DWSP) created a series of maps that displays water quality test results for the most commonly found contaminants in Oregon's private domestic wells. The map explains how these contaminants enter wells, and describes health risks associated with over exposure.
Interact with the maps by clicking, zooming-in and downloading data in your county or by census tracts. (View the map)<http://arcg.is/0GzXu5>

Finding an accredited lab made easy!
DWSP created a video to make navigating the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Management System (TNI LAMS) easier. The video is available to view on our website under, "Quick Links<http://www.healthoregon.org/wells>".
Quick Reminder: If you own a private domestic well, routine testing is up to you! It is recommended to test your well water once a year by an accredited laboratory to monitor any contaminants present. In Oregon, routine testing for nitrate, coliform bacteria and arsenic is recommended. If selling a property in Oregon, these test are required by law (ORS 448.271<http://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/HEALTHYENVIRONMENTS/DRINKINGWATER/SOURCEWATER/DOMESTICWELLSAFETY/Pages/Testing-Regulations.aspx>).
