Water Testing Resources
The Division of Regulatory Services at the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture provide testing services through the Cooperative Extension Service. Contact your local County Agent to get sample containers and to submit samples.
1. Obtain a sampling form and bottle from your County Extension Office.
2. To avoid contamination, DO NOT open the sample bottle until you are ready to collect the
sample. Use only the sample bottle provided to collect the sample.
3. For source water sample, open the tap and allow to run for five minutes prior to sampling. Place opened bottle under stream until full. Pour out enough to leave ½ inch of air space. Replace and tighten the cap, mark the sample with an owner ID, and return sample with completed submission form to the County Extension Office.
