If you live in a city, the water you use to drink and cook likely comes from a utility that applies rigorous treatment protocols to deliver clean water. But for an estimated 182,000 Nevadans who source their water from private wells, safe drinking water is harder to ensure. In Nevada and across the West, private water wells are often the site of the most pronounced contamination issues.

That leaves private owners, typically in rural areas where there are few other options, responsible for their own water quality.
