Water Quality
The District provides basic water quality testing services but is not a certified laboratory. Contact us to arrange for staff to sample your well or to receive your sample. If you plan to sample your well and bring it to the office. please follow these instructions:
- Notify the District that you will be bringing in a water sample.
- Plan to take the sample in the morning so there is adequate time to run the tests that day.
- Use a new distilled water gallon jug that has been emptied for transporting the sample to us.
- Take the sample as close as possible to the well, prior to any water softener or other treatment and storage.
- Turn the well on and let the faucet run open 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.
- Fill the jug to the top and cap securely.
- Transport the sample to the office immediately.
