Iowa DNR lab type: Commercial. LabCert lists 16 drinking-water analytes this lab is certified for. The certification period LabCert prints (March 17, 2026 to October 01, 2026) had ended when we fetched it, though LabCert still shows the status as Certified. Iowa DNR's certification letters say certification remains in effect until renewed or revoked if the lab applied on time and paid the fee. Check the lab's status with Iowa DNR.

Around this lab: Scott County, IA

  • Private wells: about 14,027 people, 8% of Scott County’s 172,126 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 4 of 99 counties in Iowa by people on wells.
  • At house sale: Statewide has a septic system rule (Iowa Code 455B.172(11); 567 IAC Chapter 69). What it requires
  • EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 1: highest potential (average indoor radon may be greater than 4 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
  • Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 478 private-well users (95% range 379 to 604; 2010 base), rank 29 of 99 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
  • Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 63% of 78,537 housing units were built before 1980, about the same as the state share of 62%. 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): 3 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.

Before you send a sample

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 Iowa certification program.
