Water Supply Testing

Clay County has had a State Certified Water Lab for over 20 years.   Of the various tests we can do, Total Coliforms, indicators of bacterial pollution, and Nitrate Nitrogen are the tests that have a health significance.  It is important to check the water quality from your well every 2 to 3 years.

To have your water supply tested, pick up a sample container and a Water Supply Test Request Form from the Clay County Public Health Clinic, Clay County Family Service Center, Room 105.

A example of the Water Supply Test Request Form is available below in the Portable Document Format (PDF).  To view and print the PDF version, you need the free Adobe® Acrobat® Reader software.  Since the Water Supply Test Request Form is a carbonless form, you should pick up the actual form when you pick up your sample container.

For information on well management, including disinfecting your well, check out the Well Management information from the Minnesota Department of Health's web site.
