Around this lab: New Hanover County, NC
- Private wells: about 56,602 people, 26% of New Hanover County’s 220,358 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 9 of 100 counties in North Carolina by people on wells.
- County health department: New Hanover County Health Department, Environmental Health Services samples wells; bacteria test Water Sample - Bacteriological $140.00 source (read 14 Nov 2026).
- 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.
- Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 1,492 private-well users (95% range 1,006 to 2,224; 2010 base), rank 19 of 100 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
- Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 31% of 120,050 housing units were built before 1980, below the state share of 34%. 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): 8 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.

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 Ohio certification program.
