I am building, buying or selling a home. Am I required to have my water tested?
No. Porter County Health Department does not require any water testing for new construction, existing or change of ownership homes. However, we do recommend testing, but it would be at the owner's expense. Some mortgage companies do require water testing. Please contact your mortgage lender to determine exactly what type of water testing they might require.
