Water Quality Testing: What's in Your Southeast Georgia Water?

You can't fix what you can't measure. Professional water quality testing is the first step toward cleaner, healthier water in your Southeast Georgia home.

What We Test For

• **Hardness** — calcium and magnesium levels
• **Iron and manganese** — causes staining and metallic taste
• **pH levels** — acidic water corrodes pipes
• **Total dissolved solids (TDS)** — overall water purity
• **Chlorine** — in city water systems
• **Bacteria** — E. coli and coliform (especially for well water)
• **Sulfur** — that "rotten egg" odor
• **Nitrates** — from agricultural runoff

City Water vs. Well Water

City water in Statesboro and Springfield is treated at a municipal plant, but it may still have hardness, chlorine taste, or other issues worth addressing. Well water in rural Bulloch, Screven, and Effingham counties needs testing because you're responsible for your own water quality.

What Happens After Testing

Based on your results, we recommend the right treatment — whether that's a simple filter, a water softener, a reverse osmosis system, or a combination. We match the solution to your specific water, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
