Water Testing

Water is tested by both the Chemistry and the Microbiology Laboratories depending on the test needed. Also, so many tests are offered and the substance to be identified may be best determined by a professional. Because it can be hard to determine what tests you want or need,  Laboratory Services has developed several resources to help you determine the tests you want to order. At the bottom of the list you will find a link to a water testing contact, who can help you if these resources do not answer your questions.
