Safe Drinking Water Act Price List
Because some drinking water samples (both public and private samples) must be tested within a short time period after sampling, do NOT ship samples to WSLH on Friday for Saturday delivery. The WSLH building is not open to the general public on weekends and holidays and staff may not be available to process your samples. Even with overnight delivery, samples may not be received or processed to meet the time limit requirement and another sample will need to be taken and shipped.
Effective Date: January 1, 2025 (prices subject to change without notice)
