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.

Tests on the state list

This list does not break certification down by analyte. Ask the lab which tests it is certified for; the groups as written on the list are below.

• 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*').

MDE prints the approved tests as "Micro 4" (codes keyed to MDE's List of Approved Contaminants, Revised 10/10/2024). MDE prints no expiry date. MDE's key describes Microbiology Group 4 only as "Enzyme Substrate Determinations" and does not name coliform bacteria or E. coli, so no bacteria certification is shown. Ask the lab. MDE lists this lab under "In State Labs" with "(PA)" in the County column; the address is in PA.

Around this lab: Bedford County, PA

• Private wells: about 31,705 people, 65% of Bedford County’s 48,586 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 35 of 67 counties in Pennsylvania 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 3,052 private-well users (95% range 1,493 to 5,677; 2010 base), rank 8 of 67 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
• Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 62% of 23,567 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): 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 Maryland certification program.
