Well water in Bali: build a source and testing record

Start with what you know

Owning or using a bore does not tell you the current condition of water at a tap. Keep the source, storage, treatment and drinking outlets distinct. General EPA well guidance is background information, not an Indonesian permit or testing standard.

Make the record specific

If a seller provides a bore-water report, check whether the property stores or treats that water before use. A source report and an outlet report answer different questions; retain the sampling point with each document.

Your observation checklist

• Collect the bore record and supply arrangements available to you.
• Identify other supplies mixed into storage.
• Retain sample dates, methods and treatment status.
• Ask local professionals about applicable testing and legal requirements.

The question to take to an assessment

Which source and final-outlet samples are appropriate for the way this property uses its water?

Keep the original observations, dates and documents together. If you commission a visit or test, agree its scope, costs and expected written output directly with the professional. Our online check does not book a technician or send your details to a provider.
