How the Arizona list marks public samples (whole list). Not stated per lab. ADHS's private-well pamphlet says independent laboratories can test private well water and points well owners to this list; it does not say which labs take samples from well owners.
Before you send a sample, call the lab to confirm it is currently certified for the exact test and method, that it accepts samples from homeowners, and how to collect and ship them. Status can change between list updates.
Why test for lead in Arizona
On a private well, lead almost always comes from the metal the water touches on its way to your glass, and corrosive water decides how much. Read our lead explainer.
Arizona guidance that mentions lead:
- The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) well owner guide lists a testing schedule. Test all new wells for arsenic, total coliform bacteria, fluoride, lead, nitrates, total dissolved solids (TDS) and uranium. Then test once a year for total coliform bacteria and nitrates, and every 5 years for arsenic, fluoride and uranium. Also test when there are known well water problems in your area, after problems near your well (flooding, wildfire, land disturbances, nearby waste disposal sites), when the water's taste, color or odor changes, or if anyone in your family has an unexplained illness. [1]
About 218,170 people in Arizona used private wells in 2015, by the USGS estimate of people on domestic self-supplied water. [2] Federal limits are written for public water systems, not private wells, so testing is up to the owner.
For tests that depend on your home (farms nearby, old plumbing, a new baby), use the which-tests checklist. When results arrive, check your numbers against EPA's limits. State guidance, county data and every lab: Arizona.
