This Basic Safety Test is recommended yearly for residential homes, as well as day care facilities.
In August 2020, the Code of Maine Rules Chapter 257 was amended to add a mandatory $2 fee for a water test ordered for residential private drinking water wells. All funds collected as a result of this new fee will be deposited into the Private Well Safe Drinking Water Fund. Collection of the mandatory fee was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Health and Environmental Laboratory will begin collecting it effective immediately. For more information about this rule please see https://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/statutes/22/title22sec2660-W.html
