DOH Safe Drinking Water Branch, Rainwater Catchment page: "Owners or users of rainwater catchment systems can take advantage of the program once per year. Under this program, the owner or user of a 'legal dwelling' can submit a water sample from their rainwater catchment system to a participating analytical laboratory for testing of lead and copper in the water. ... AECOS Laboratory, Inc. is currently the only lab approved by DOH, and is participating in this program." The statement covers DOH's subsidized lead and copper test for homes on rainwater catchment; ask AECOS about other tests.

Around this lab: Honolulu County, HI

• Private wells: about 0 people, 0% of Honolulu County’s 998,714 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 4 of 5 counties in Hawaii by people on wells.

• EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 3: low potential (average indoor radon may be less than 2 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
• Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 57% of 374,304 housing units were built before 1980, above the state share of 50%. 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): 20 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 0 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 Hawaii certification program.
