Water Testing Options & Fees

Our laboratory tests water quality to protect your health and the health of our environment.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day we test water at Dane County beaches. If you’re hosting an event where people will be in the water, you can request additional testing for E. coli and blue-green algae. See our fact sheet for options and costs. Contact us at 608-243-0357 to schedule testing. 

We offer many drinking water testing options. Please call 608-243-0357 for a consultation or to learn more about our testing process.
