The Eastsound Water Users Association now provides water quality sample bottles from the certified testing lab, Edge Analytical Laboratories, for bacteriological, inorganic and organic chemical analysis for residents interested in testing their water supply. The laboratory’s results are accepted by both county and state health departments.

Samples should be sent directly to the lab along with payment which will provide confidential results.

Private wells are required to do water quality testing only after being developed.

The water users association recommends that business and home owners interested in water quality testing contact the la to discuss their water quality concerns, testing interests, costs, and sampling procedures at 800-755-9295.
