Water Testing

We provide testing services for private wells for the following problems:

• Bacteriological - where there is illness that might be attributed to the water supply. Homeowners who want routine testing of their well for bacteria must contact a private lab or bring a sample to our office for a $22.00 coliform bacteria testing fee. On newly permitted wells, a bacteriological water sample is included as part of the inspection fee.
• EDB - Areas around old orange groves, nurseries, and golf courses sometimes have pesticide residues. Certain areas in north and west Orange County have been found with EDB contamination. You may call to see if your residence is located in one of the known areas and possible testing of your water supply.
• Petroleum - Areas around gas storage tanks are sometimes found with petroleum contamination. Many areas have already been checked and others are yet to be tested. If you suspect gasoline contamination, call us for information about your area.
• Lead / Nitrate - you may submit a water sample for testing to our office for a $90.00 fee. The test results take 45 days to complete.

Call 407-521-2630  to discuss any problems you may be having with your drinking water. The best time to call is between 8:00am and 10:00am in the morning.  We can advise on other problems such as odors, calcium, and iron.
