Wichita Municipal Water & Wastewater Laboratory

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.

KDHE lists 42 drinking-water analytes this lab is accredited for. KDHE database: lab type NELAP Primary +; 'Commercial?' No; 'Is Primary?' Yes. Not on KDHE's private-well map of certified well water testing laboratories (data last edited 2023-08-10). 'Commercial?' is KDHE's lab-type flag, not a statement about homeowners' samples: call before you send a sample.

Around this lab: Sedgwick County, KS

• Private wells: about 14,558 people, 3% of Sedgwick County’s 511,574 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 2 of 105 counties in Kansas 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 446 private-well users (95% range 360 to 549; 2010 base), rank 2 of 105 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
• Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 53% of 227,638 housing units were built before 1980, below the state share of 56%. 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; 1 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 Kansas certification program.
