Public / homeowner samples

Public samples: ask the lab

Not stated per lab. NMED's Private Wells page says: "To test your water, contact a local water laboratory and confirm if they can analyze samples from private wells. While the Drinking Water Bureau (DWB) certifies laboratories for public water systems, many of these labs also offer services to private well owners." It names no lab, and NMED's list does not say which labs take samples from private well owners. NMED's free well testing (water fairs and NMED field offices) is done by NMED itself, not by the labs on this list.

Tests on the state list

• Named on the official list The state list names this analyte (or a column for it) for this lab.
• Group-level certification Certified for a parent group (e.g. 'Inorganics') that includes this analyte. Confirm the specific test with the lab.
• Partial group certification The list marks the group as 'Partial'. Confirm this analyte with the lab.
• Subcontracted The lab sends this analyte to another accredited lab (MDH 'X*').

NMED prints the analyte groups as "M, E" (codes keyed by the legend on NMED's list). NMED certifies whole analyte groups, not single analytes. NMED's "On Contract" column: Y (under contract with NMED-DWB, so it may invoice NMED-DWB for public water systems' sample analyses; this says nothing about private well owners). NMED's list prints city and state only, no street address.

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 New Mexico certification program.
