Q: Is it safe to drink brown well water?

Consider calling a professional for an expert opinion before drinking the water and hoping for the best.</p></div>

Q: How can you test your well water yourself?

• <div><p>&ldquo;Testing&rdquo; can start with your senses: Assessing your water&rsquo;s appearance, taste, and smell can all be good first steps. The best way to know for sure what&rsquo;s going on with your water is to use a well water testing kit, which can tell you about the specific levels of bacteria, dissolved solids, and hardness of your water with precision. Have a pro test your well water at least once per year.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home.
