Water Testing
This Page Is Under Construction
CCGG’s water testing program at Wilkes University is no longer available due to circumstances beyond our control.
We realize that getting appropriate water testing for your private water supply can be challenging. The problem of not knowing what to test for and finding a lab that suits your needs can stop people from testing at all.
The Carbon County Groundwater Guardians (CCGG) wants to help homeowners by providing an easy way to test their drinking water. Mr. Brian Oram, Professional Geologist and former Director of the Wilkes University Drinking Water Testing Laboratory, is a charter member of the Groundwater Guardians. Mr. Oram is also the proprietor of B.F. Environmental Consultants, Inc., based in Dallas, PA.
If you feel you need help, you can fill out a short questionnaire that is designed to provide Mr. Oram with specific information about your well. This will allow him to make a recommendation as to what testing you should do thus eliminating unnecessary testing.
You are free to choose any lab you want and any testing options you want. If any result is above the Maximum Contaminate Level (MCL) or you just don’t understand the results, you can receive specific advice and recommendations if you send a copy of the tests to Mr. Oram.
We are providing two labs that you may want to consider using.
- B.F. Environmental Consultants, Inc. – Homeowner Water Testing Program
- B.F. Environmental Consultants, Inc. – Marcellus Shale Baseline Water Testing
