Around this lab: Bristol County, MA
- Private wells: about 61,898 people, 11% of Bristol County’s 556,772 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 3 of 14 counties in Massachusetts by people on wells.
- At house sale: Statewide (Title 5) has a septic system rule (310 CMR 15.301-15.305 (Title 5)). What it requires
- EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 2: moderate potential (average indoor radon may be between 2 and 4 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
- Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 544 private-well users (95% range 412 to 727; 2010 base), rank 9 of 12 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
- Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 68% of 245,025 housing units were built before 1980, about the same as the state share of 67%. 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): 17 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 10 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 Vermont certification program.
