What it is & why it matters
Laboratory testing for common drinking-water concerns.
A properly collected water sample is submitted to a laboratory for E. coli and total coliform testing. The results document whether those bacteria were detected in the sampled water supply.
Water can look and taste normal while still containing contaminants. Nitrate, nitrite, and lead testing can also be added when the property, water source, or client’s concerns call for a broader analysis.
