EPA wellcare .

The EPA recommends that private wells are tested at least once every 12 months to ensure a continuous supply of healthy water.

A private well is a well that is privately owned and provides water to a single house and does not provide water to the public through a commercial or social activity.

Irish Water has no role to play in abstractions relating to private water supplies.  Water charges do not apply to private well owners so long as they are not also connected to a public water supply.

This means that you are responsible for the quality of your well water; however, your local authority is responsible for providing advice and guidance in relation to the protection of your supply.  While strictly speaking your supply does not have to comply with the drinking water regulations it should comply with the water quality standards, which have been set in order to protect human health (see parameters listed for full details).  The onus is on you to resolve the water problem if it relates to an issue that requires water treatment and is outside the pollution control remit of the local authority or the EPA (if it relates to an EPA licenced facility). 

This is an extract from the EPA page on taking care oif your well and your water . There is a lot more to be read at the following link.
