Nitrates are a little high but unfortunately that is not unusual, overall not bad though.

Where did you get those results from? A mail in test?

No we live in a real rural area and a buddy works on wells and with the college UNR Reno. A little pricey but complete.

Most larger cities have local environmental testing labs that do domestic well analysis. The testing is very common when someone wants to sell a place since it is usually a requirement for escrow.
Here is an example of a lab I have used for over 30 years.
