Baller dvskier Posted August 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 20, 2016 County health department can test water samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 20, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 20, 2016 depends on what you are testing for. If take a sample to a lab they need to know what to test for.

Baller dvskier Posted August 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 20, 2016 I was writing about drinking water as I have had a well tested previously by the county health department in GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted August 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 20, 2016 Like @Horton said. If you were to seek a complete full spectrum analysis (like we've come to expect on CSI) it would cost you a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eleeski Posted August 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 20, 2016 Find an independent lab - there are lots in socal. Coloform is the most important test, this is what gives you diarrhea. But an old dump site might have other chemical contamination. A local lab might have insight on what to test for. Your nose will be a valuable tool if you can smell something. Testing is a good idea - especially if you pass. If there are issues, do address them. Be proactive. Sometimes it's OK to personally ski if the water isn't perfect - just be aware. Standards have gotten stricter since some of us learned to ski in the sewage treatment discharge. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
