WELL WATER TESTING
The Uinta County Conservation District holds an annual well water testing event for Uinta County well owners.
UCCD facilitates this event by:
-
offering a cost-share program to reduce costs
-
providing necessary sampling bottles
-
shipping samples to an analytical lab
Look for this event to happen in the spring or early summer (April to July; dependent upon lab scheduling).
See details, dates, and registration info below.
Please note, UCCD does not:
-
UCCD employees do not conduct the well water sampling process. The well owner is responsible for collecting samples using the bottles provided.

UCCD does not see or file the results. All samples are analyzed by a certified third-party laboratory. Results are sent directly from the lab to the well owner.
-
UCCD does not offer well water testing at any other time of the year:

Knowing the quality of your private well water is of utmost importance to your family's health.
Private well water should be tested at least once a year, or anytime there is a change in taste, odor, or color.
If someone in the household is expecting a baby or someone is immunocompromised, this is another critical time to test your well water.
If you use well water for livestock or irrigation, it is also important to know and understand if your well water is suitable for those uses.
