*Customers that order Coliform testing will often receive two separate reports. When water samples are received at the lab - testing for Coliform Bacteria is completed within 48 hours. Customers receive this report first since this test has a rapid turn around time.The remaining results are sent between 2 to 4 weeks depending on the test. If Coliform is not ordered or a part of a testing package then the customer receives one report as opposed to two separate reports. Learn more about the turnaround time for testing here.
Please note: We no longer perform testing on radiochemicals in water.
