    How does one go about acquiring test results like this? The water at my apartment has always tasted exceptionally bad but I don’t know how to check it. I’ve always run everything through a Britta filter, but it would be nice to do a proper test of some kind

      Check locally and state websites. You should be able to find some local labs if you want something this detailed otherwise if you want to spend less with less precise results you can look for well water test strips online that will test for like 15 different things. It will not test for bacteria or PFAs. Those are separate tests.

      This is standard when someone sells their house, as I understand it. There’s a disclosures form you have to fill out so that potential buyers (me) can see all the awful shit you would prefer not to tell anyone about. I assume you legally have to tell, though. So it’s a professional water testing outfit. I’ve never sold a house, so I haven’t done this myself before.
