Water Quality

Please contact the District to make arrangements for water quality testing. The District can provide basic water quality testing services but is not a certified laboratory. We prefer to sample wells ourselves but can accept samples from you if they meet certain guidelines as stated below.

1. Notify the District that you will be bringing in a water sample.
2. Plan to take the sample in the morning so there is adequate time to run the tests that day.
3. Use a new distilled water gallon jug that has been emptied for transporting the sample to us.
4. Take the sample as close as possible to the well, prior to any water softener or other treatment and storage.
5. Turn the well on and let water run (to the ground) for at least 10 minutes prior to obtaining the sample. You may need to open a second tap to prevent the well from cycling off during this period.
6. Fill the jug to the top and cap securely.
7. Transport the sample to the office immediately.
