Key points

  • Use the public-health sample bottle and follow the sampling instructions
  • Keep the sample cool and respect the current drop-off window
  • Bacteria testing does not replace testing for every chemical contaminant

Before you go or call

  • Check the current Rockland bottle pickup and sample drop-off schedule
  • Complete the laboratory form
  • Do not rely on an old saved schedule
