Central Virginia Water Testing

Do you have a well or spring? Whats in

your water?
The Virginia Household Water Quality Program aims to improve the
water quality and health of Virginians with wells, springs and
cisterns. We provide affordable water testing, help interpreting
their water test results, and information about addressing
problems.
How does it work?
Participants attend a short Kickoff Meeting, where they
receive information about how to collect water samples and
a sampling kit. Participants collect samples on a designated
day and time and drop off at the sample collection point.
Water is analyzed on the Virginia Tech campus for 14
parameters. Once analysis is complete, results are returned
at a final meeting, water test results are explained, along
with information about how to deal with any problems. If
you are unable to attend the interpretation meeting, results
will be mailed to you.
