Around this lab: Worcester County, MA

• Private wells: about 160,140 people, 20% of Worcester County’s 818,963 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 1 of 14 counties in Massachusetts by people on wells.
• At house sale: Statewide (Title 5) has a septic system rule (310 CMR 15.301-15.305 (Title 5)). What it requires

• 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 12,238 private-well users (95% range 9,139 to 16,208; 2010 base), rank 1 of 12 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
• Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 64% of 355,185 housing units were built before 1980, below the state share of 67%. 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): 49 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 21 had a PFOA or PFOS sample at or above 4.0 ng/L.

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 Massachusetts certification program.
