Water Testing
PRIVATE WELLS
Property owners may collect their own water samples for bacterial testing (Total Coliform and E-coli). The laboratory requires you to collect and submit the water sample in the collection kits provided by the State Public Health Laboratory. These kits with sampling instructions are available at the Health Center. There is a $10.00 fee payable to the laboratory upon submission of the test.
The water sample should reach the laboratory within 30 hours of collection. If the water sample is submitted to the Health Center during normal business hours (Monday-Friday) before arrival of the Courier Service, the sample will be shipped at no cost. The State Public Health Laboratory in Jefferson City will test the sample the next morning.
