Thanks for the info Paul, My brother, who has done numerous wells and has had the water tested said I should check with our local water district office which is here in victorville. I may call them tomorrow if I get a chance, to check on the price, etc. I was also thinking that perhaps the Forestry Dept should be contacted and made aware of the problem. Since it is obviously affecting quite a number of people couldn't we ask if they could do the test on the water. I would think they would have the ablility to get it done. Of course some people might feel that informing the Forestry Dept. of this problem might bring some sort of trouble that could affect our access.
