Ross Township - Well Water Testing

Let us know of other links that you would like included on this list.

Have you tested your well water lately? It's easy. Two tests are available:

a bacteriological analysis tests for the presence of Coliform bacteria, including E. coli. The Environmental Health Bureau recommends testing your well for Coliform bacteria each year.
a partial chemistry test measures concentrations of iron, hardness, nitrate, nitrite, sodium, sulfate, fluoride, and cholorine in your well water.

Sterile sampling bottles and instructions are available at some Township offices or the Kalamazoo County Environmental Health Bureau.

You can pick up a sample bottle and pay the lab analysis fee when you drop off the sample at the Health and Community Services Lab located at 3299 Gull road (the former Nazareth College).

For current fees and more information call 373-5377 or visit www.kalcounty.com/eh. For an additional fee, the Environmental Health Bureau will collect a sample for you.
