Ohio has about 1 million homes using private wells. Since property owners are responsible for the well

water quality, annual water testing for homes with private water supplies is recommended. Many private laboratories in Ohio will analyze water from public and private water supplies. This publication lists laboratories willing to accept water samples from the public for testing. These water testing laboratories are approved (as of April 2010) by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and Ohio Department of Health.

The list includes the names of laboratories in various counties of Ohio, addresses, phone numbers and websites. The Laboratories are certified to conduct certain types of chemical analysis and are labeled accordingly.

For information on what to test for and how to collect a water sample check AEX- 314 Water Testing. This fact sheet is available through Ohio Extension Offices. This and other publications on water testing and water treat-ment can be found online at http://setll.osu.edu.
