How to submit a sample

1. 1
   Call or check the website for the right bottles

   Bacteria samples need a sterile bottle from the lab. Chemistry samples usually take a clean container the lab supplies.

2. 2
   Collect from a cold tap before treatment

   Skip softeners and filters. Remove the aerator, run the water 3 to 5 minutes, then fill without touching the inside of the cap.

3. 3
   Keep it cold and deliver within 24 hours

   Bacteria samples are time-sensitive. Use a cooler with ice packs and hand it in or ship it the same day.

4. 4
   Read the report against the standards

   Compare results with EPA drinking water limits. If anything is over, our problem pages explain what it means and how to treat it.
