What these results can and can't tell you

They can tell you

How each tested result compares with the official limit
Which results need action, a retest, or nothing
What each substance is and the usual next steps

They can't tell you

Anything about what wasn't tested. A report only covers the tests on it.
What your water is like today. Bacteria and nitrate can change with the seasons, heavy rain, floods and well work.
Whether the sample was collected and handled correctly
Whether a health symptom comes from your water. Ask your doctor.

We read your report automatically and can misread a number, especially from a photo. Check each value against your paper report, and treat your lab and health department as the final word.
