Well Water Testing

What we test for

  1. Option 1: Total Coliform Bacteria and E. coli
    Test uses the Colilert method required by KRS 223.400 - 223.460 and 223.991. We provide you with a KENTUCKY WELL WATER BACTERIAL REPORT for use in reporting test required by the above.  
  2. Option 2: Chemical tests for Nitrites, Nitrates, and Lead
    Test uses LaMotte Insta-Test Nitrite and Nitrate Test strips and LaMotte Lead Screening kit. The EPA recommends less than 10 parts per million for Nitrate and 1 part per million for Nitrite. The EPA recommends less than 15 parts per billion for lead. Our tests will determine if levels are above or below the recommended threshold.

How much does it cost

  1. Option 1: test for total Coliforms and E. coli will continue to be $50.
  2. Option 2: test for Nitrates, Nitrites, and Lead will be $50.
