About a month ago my brother-in-laws well water suddenly appeared to be full of soap powders . The water was white & milky looking & there was even white grit that looked like laundry detergent . We live in an area that has a lot of natural gas wells & more being drilled everyday . There was a gas well drilled not far from his house at the same time this happened to his water well . There is some type of soap used by gas well drillers . These test results are from his water well , not mine . My question is this , do any of these test results reflect soap being in his water & if so which one . Also if none of these tests would reflect soap being in the water , what test should be requested that would ? The company that drilled the gas well had the test done . Any other comments on these test results would be more than welcome . Thanks in advance .
