Calm Fears With Tests
By ROSANN KENT
When you drink a glass of
water from your t?, you ex
pect ?it to be safe and pure. But
1s it?
Before you rush out to buy
expensive water treatment
systems or stock up on bottl
ed water, stop and ask a few
more questions.
Who su¥plies my water?
“First of all, peogle need to
understand that if they're buy
ing water from an authority,
the authority is responsib{e
under federal and state laws for
water testing. They can fio
down and ask to see the
records,”’ saxls Robert Isaac,
director of the University of
Georgia Agricultural Services
Laboratories.
RESPONSIBLE
But if you live in a small
neighborhood that requires in
dividual wells, the government
or water supplier is not respon
sible for the water quality —
you are.
‘*‘State law says that 15 or
more connections to one main
well must be tested for the
primary contaminants and as
set by the Environmental Pro
tection Agency,” says Tony
Tyson, an agricultural
engineer. “That means that a
trailer park with only six
trailers isn't required to test
the water. So it's up to the in
dividual to make sure the
water is safe.”
Private water supplies also
are unregulated.
‘“The state has about
600,000 domestic wells and
nearly a fourth of them are 75
feet deep or less, making them
more susceptible to contamina
tion. About 95 percent of
Georgia's rural residents rely
on private wells,” Tyson says.
Although the vast majority
of these wells yield water that
is safe to drink, having your
water tested is the only way to
detect most contaminants.
Where do I start?
‘“‘Realize there is no one test
that checks for everything.
Each test is very specific and
you could end up spending a lot
of money. You have to know
what the problem is first,” says
.

Bob Isaac.
TESTS
Water tests, he explains,
fall into two general categories:
bacteriological and chemical.
“The test for bacteria
evaluates for coliform bacteria,
a group of microorganisms
recognized as indicators of
pollution. These are found in
soil, on plants, and in the feces
of animals and humans. Their
presence means that the water
may have been contaminated
by sewage or manure,”’ says
Isaac. ‘“Your local health
department usually conducts
these tests.”
Chemical tests, on the other
hand, identify materials rang
ing from nuisance con
taminants like iron and
manganese to potentially life
threatening ones like nitrate
and %asoline.
‘‘Based on our routine
water tests on deep wells, only
3 percent have elements that
exceed the Environmental Pro
tection Agency's standard of
health-threatening con
taminants. Fourteen percent of
shallow wells also exceed this
standard,” says Tyson. ‘“‘Most
contamination is from nitrate.”
He points out that this data

does not include any bacteria
tests.
WHICH ONES
Which tests do I need?
Extension specialists
recommend the following
routine tests if you drink water
from a private water supply:
1. Test all new water sup
plies and any sugply not
previously tested for basic
water chemistry and nuisance
contaminants (iron,
manganese, sulfate, etc.).
These form a good baseline in
order to detect possible future
contamination. :
2. Test once a year (during
the spring or summer after a
rainy period) for coliform
bacteria, nitrate, pH and Botal
Dissolved Solids (TDS).
3. If you've repaired, replac
ed or installed a well or pipes,
test again for coliform bacteria,
nitrate, pH and TDS.
4. Every three years test for
sulfate, chloride, iron,
manganese, lead, hardness and
corrosion index.
But some special situations
call for extra tests.
Babies, for example, who
drink water with high levels of
nitrate can suffer brain damafi'e
or death. So if your household
is expecting, first test for
nitrate early in the pregnancy,
then test before you bring the
baby home and again during
the first six months of the
baby’s life.
CHECK
Or if family members or
house guests have recurrent in
cidents of gastrointestinal il-
Iness, check for coliform
bacteria, nitrate and sulfate.
“Where you live, or what
you're living next to, can
sometimes af%ect your water. If
someone in your family
becomes ill, or the taste, odor
or color of your water changes,
your water su’Fply may be con
taminated,” Tyson says.
Farm wells, for example,
may contain pesticide residues.
“Knowing which types of
pesticides were used (or spilled)
will help keep the costs of the
tests down,” says Isaac.
Where can I have my water
tested? { Uigeren 'y

DEAR DIALOGUE: My son sh h.is hair every day,
and I tell him it will make him bamshls uncle. He says
r ; ’s right?
s ikl g AB, Ft. Lauderdale, FI.
DEAR A. B.: Many amother could wish she had your pro
blem — a son who shampoos daily! Actually, most experts
agree that daily washing promotes healthy hair and scalp.
Here are a few tips for shampooin§ in the shower:
* Use a teaspoon-size portion o shamioo. per lather.
* At beginning of shower, wet hair, wor first application
of shampoo into a lather.
* Leave lather in hair while you bathe the rest of your bo;i‘i'
* Massage scalp with pads of fingertips — never the nails
— to stimulate circulation. . ;
* Rinse, follow first shampoo with a second, quick
shampoo. : ;
* Rinse thoroughly. A cool rinse will promote shine.
_ *lt's recommended that you use a shampoo and condi
tioner formulated for your hair tyge: oil, normal, or dry.

DEAR DIALOGUE: My family has fallen in love with a
vegetable new to our area — a large, hard-shelled, yellow
vegetable called spaghetti squash. What is it? ;
A.T., St. Louis, Mo.
DEAR A. T.: Good to eat and good for you! This new darl
ing of the produce department, smooth and yellow on the out
side and J)ulpy on the inside, is not a true squash but an edi
ble gourd. Scrape out the seeds, then microwave 10 minutes
or bake 50 minutes, the flesh flakes off into spaghetti-like
strands. It makes a refreshing pasta substitute. It's a super
source of vitamin A, pot*assilim. agd fiber.
DEAR DIALOGUE: I'm supposed to go into
chemotherapy treatment following a cancer operation. I'm
