Water can be tested by a variety of laboratories, depending on the requirements.
a) When water is used for human consumption and human health is a concern, a routine
chemical analysis and bacteriological analysis can be done. Contact your local health
unit. There may be a nominal fee required.
b) When water testing is for mortgage approvals, livestock use and other non-health
related purposes, you must use a private lab. Check your yellow pages under
"
Laboratories."
