BPHL offers well water testing to private wells as well as county health departments. Sample collection information is available on the website.
Non-Potable Water Testing
These services are only provided to county health departments.
bacteriological Food Testing
Outbreak-related testing is only provided to active investigations conducted by local county health departments. Contact your local county health department if you suspect a need for testing.
Environmental Laboratory Certification
The Environmental Laboratory Certification Program was established in 1979 to ensure laboratory quality and capacity to perform testing of drinking water regulated under the Florida Safe Drinking Water Act. In 1986, the Florida Legislature expanded the scope of the program to cover domestic wastewater testing conducted under the Clean Water Act as well as certification for other types of environmental testing.
