Florida DOH lists 11 drinking-water analytes (across 6 methods) this lab is NELAP-accredited for. DOH lab type: Governmental. DEP's Laboratory page, which links this list, advises the public to "contact only commercial laboratories from the results, as utility, university, research, and state laboratories do not accept public samples".

Around this lab: Fulton County, GA

• Private wells: about 1,652 people, 0% of Fulton County’s 1,010,562 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 141 of 159 counties in Georgia by people on wells.

• EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 1: highest potential (average indoor radon may be greater than 4 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
• Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 1,272 private-well users (95% range 858 to 1,882; 2010 base), rank 1 of 159 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
• Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 33% of 507,119 housing units were built before 1980, about the same as the state share of 31%. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead solder or fittings, so test tap water for lead there.
• PFAS in public water nearby (public supply, not your well): 12 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 3 had a PFOA or PFOS sample at or above 4.0 ng/L.

County figures describe where the lab is, not the lab. Sources: USGS 2015 water use and 2017 arsenic estimates, EPA radon zones, Census ACS table B25034 (2020–2024), EPA UCMR 5 (2023–2026); details and links on the sources page.

Before you send a sample

Call the lab to confirm it's currently certified for the exact test and method, that it accepts samples from homeowners, and how to collect and ship them. Bacteria samples have short holding times. Status can change between list updates. To check a status, contact the Florida certification program.
