Well, it depends on where the water is coming from and what you are concerned about. Chlorine, heavy metals, oil and grease, and total dissolved solids are common tests for storm water runoff. Tests for wastewater can include the above plus chlorine pesticides, PCBs, e-coli, bac-t., and semi-volatile organics (carcinogens). Groundwater analysis also commonly includes total petroleum hydrocarbons (gas and diesel) and organo-phosphorus pesticides.

Yes. Mineral content, presence of lead, arsenic, other chemicals, bacteria. These come to mind quickly. Are you having your water tested?

how about trace metals and organic chemicals like 2,4d weed killer. Parts per million dissolved solids, sulphur...and get a test for things living in it.
