There have been five wells tested that have been shown to be bacteriologically unsafe.  All tests were done by certified labs.   It is the wish of these people that this statement be released to the news media in an effort to inform others of the possibility that their wells may not be safe for drinking.  Here is a list of vendors to use. http://www.in.gov/isdh/22450.htm
