This test identifies the total Coliform Bacteria & E. coli Bacteria in your water sample.

Who it’s for: the fastest answer to “is my water safe from bacteria?” A well that ran dry and came back, a new pump, or a change in taste or smell — start here. Bacteria samples are time-sensitive, so drop-off is the best return method.

How it works: Order online and we ship your kit, or pick one up at any of our 9 drop-off locations across Maine. Collect your sample (instructions included, about 10 minutes), then return it to a drop-off location or ship it back. You get plain-English results by email, with numbers you can act on.
