Sample Your Water

Bacteria water sampling tests water samples for indicator bacteria to ensure water is safe. Drinking water, beaches and swimming pool water can be tested.

Contact your municipality for any other additional drinking water quality test results. Don't submit your municipal water for testing, as the water sample will be rejected.
