If it is basic stuff, you can probably use a local lab for a lot cheaper price. If you are doing something like mercury, or ultra low metals, or medications, or pesticides, you’ll have to find a speciality lab and it will cost a lot ($300-500 per sample analysis).

You’ll also need to know what numbers are acceptable and what are not…. If you water company is going to fudge something, odds are they’ll compare the number they have with the highest water quality standard that they can, which doesn’t mean healthy water… Anywho, good luck, I can provide more info if you email me through Answers…
