I would like to get my water analyzed to make sure it's ok to drink as

You can test for hardness. Your can test for some elements and minerals
(iron, phosphates, etc.)
Unless you have a moderately well-equipped laboratory you cannot test for
organisims (E-coli, parasites, etc.) or the products of living things (e.g.,
fecal contamination)
