Water Testing Overview
Many people in the United States receive their water from private ground water wells. EPA regulations that protect public drinking water systems do not apply to privately owned wells. As a result, owners of private wells are responsible for ensuring that their water is safe from contaminants.
The Torrington Area Health District (TAHD) currently partners with Phoenix Environmental Laboratories, Inc. who is
certified by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC) and holds certification in all New England states, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. All water testing is performed by Phoenix Environmental Laboratories, Inc. at their facility. TAHD provides residents within the Northwest CT a convenient location to submit their water testing samples which in turn are picked up daily by a courier from Phoenix Environmental Laboratories.
