Private wells in Utah

A nearby public water-system result cannot describe a private well. Confirm the property’s source and use well-specific testing.

Does a no-match result mean I use a private well?

No. A no-match means the mapped public-system data did not identify a provider. It does not prove a private well, and the site does not infer well quality from nearby public systems, surface water, or city averages.

Who is responsible for a private well?

Private wells are owner-managed and are not regulated like public water systems. Confirm the water source with the property owner or local records, then ask a local health department or certified laboratory about appropriate testing.

What should I test for?

Testing should reflect the well, geology, nearby land uses, septic systems, symptoms, and local guidance. Do not buy treatment before identifying the problem and reviewing a certified laboratory result.
