Looks like a utility or municipal lab
Judging by the name only (this is our label, not the state's). Labs like this usually test their own system. The state list does not say whether it takes samples from the public, so ask before you send one.

Groups as written on the state list (2)
- Microbiology - Drinking water (RTCR): Total coliform (SM9223B-P/A)
- Microbiology - Drinking water (RTCR): E. coli (SM9223B-P/A)
- Named on the official list The state list names this analyte (or a column for it) for this lab.
- Group-level certification Certified for a parent group (e.g. 'Inorganics') that includes this analyte. Confirm the specific test with the lab.
- Partial group certification The list marks the group as 'Partial'. Confirm this analyte with the lab.
- Subcontracted The lab sends this analyte to another accredited lab (MDH 'X*').
Idaho drinking-water certificates on file: Microbiology (scanned certificates, read by OCR and checked; analytes left out where the scan could not be read with certainty). Name as in DHW's file names (the scanned name did not pass the OCR check).
Around this lab: Bonneville County, ID
- Private wells: about 14,133 people, 13% of Bonneville County’s 110,089 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 8 of 44 counties in Idaho by people on wells.
- EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 2: moderate potential (average indoor radon may be between 2 and 4 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
- Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 1,151 private-well users (95% range 930 to 1,423; 2010 base), rank 11 of 44 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
- Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 45% of 47,489 housing units were built before 1980, above the state share of 39%. 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): 3 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 Idaho certification program.
Is this your lab?
Labs can ask for corrections through the agency that publishes their state list. Homeowner service, prices and turnaround above come only from the lab’s own website. To ask us to correct or remove this listing, write to us (how we handle listings).
