Please be aware that a water sample cannot be submitted for testing if an individual collects a sample and brings it into the health department.  Our staff are provided with sterile collection bottles from the lab and are trained in proper collection procedures to assure the sample is not contaminated during collection.  Results are available generally within 3 - 5 business days after it is submitted to the lab.  Sampling collection dates are only Monday -Thursday and not on these days if a holiday.  A fee is associated with sample collection and a request form needs to be completed.  Please contact our office to obtain forms and to schedule the sample collection.
