HOW TO USE THIS LIST
Annual baseline first. Concern-specific testing second.
Retest promptly using the health department or laboratory's sampling instructions.
Add untreated-water testing for iron, hardness and the specific odor source before selecting equipment.
Use a Florida-certified laboratory method and reporting limit designed for the exact substance. A basic field check is not a substitute.
One well's result does not establish conditions at another property or across Jupiter Farms.
