Private wells
A private water system in Ohio serves fewer than 15 connections and fewer than 25 people. Permits for a new or altered system require total coliform, E. coli, and nitrate samples. The secondary standard for iron is 0.3 mg/L. Manganese greensand filters are a common iron treatment. Nothing on this page claims a specific Licking County township well contains a contaminant without a sample from that well.
The Ohio Department of Health links USGS work on arsenic in Licking County groundwater. That is a reason to ask a lab about arsenic on a Licking County well. It is not a finding about every well in the county.
