Water Quality Testing

An on-site water test will provide you with an approximate range of the contaminants in the water supply. The inspector will know the results of the lead, pesticides, nitrates, nitrites, chlorine, pH, and hardness test immediately, while the bacteria test will take 48 hours to show either positive or negative.

A laboratory test on your drinking water will measure bacteria (total coliform, E. coli), lead, nitrate, nitrite, total nitrate/nitrite, pH, iron, and turbidity, and will provide an exact measurement of contaminants. The laboratory test takes three to five days to complete and the results will be emailed to you.
