Are pesticides monitored in domestic wells?
Most government agencies do not require routine monitoring of water quality for domestic wells. Although regulations vary within and among States, the quality of water from privately owned domestic wells generally is the homeowner’s responsibility. Routine monitoring is not required; however, most States and some local agencies provide guidance to domestic well owners through Web sites and printed materials.
