Water Testing
Public and municipal water supplies are routinely tested and must meet standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Therefore, these sources usually do not need to be tested unless inhouse contamination is suspected. However, only YOU are responsible for the safety of your well water.
For more information to help you decide whether or not you may want to have your water tested, and what it should be tested for, read this Water Quality brochure or contact our office.
The cost for the basic test is $17.00; please call our office for more information about what is included in the basic test, and your options for more extensive testing.
Water samples should be collected from the kitchen faucet or from the faucet used most often for drinking.
Samples will be sent to a laboratory at UGA and results will be available in 7-10 business days.
