Does your drinking water come from a private well? If so, have you ever had your water tested for bacterial growth? The State Public Health Laboratory (SPHL) in Jefferson City will test your water for Total Coliform Bacteria and E. coli bacteria at a cost of $10 per sample. Sample containers are available at the Daviess County Health Department. There is no fee to mail the sample, just bring the sample (in the provided container) to the Health Department before 10 a.m. Monday through Wednesday. The State Courier will deliver the sample to the lab for analysis. The results will be mailed to you.
If you have any questions, please contact Cori Nichols at the Daviess County Health Department at 660-663-2414.
