 Public and municipal water supplies are routinely tested and must meet standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Therefore, these sources usually do not need to be tested unless inhouse contamination is suspected. However, only you are responsible for the safety of your well water. Water testing in Gilmer County is provided by the Gilmer County Extension Office, who can be contacted at 706-635-4425. The cost for the basic test is $30.  Water samples should be collected from the kitchen faucet or from the faucet used most often for drinking. Samples will be sent to a laboratory at UGA and results will be available in 5-7 business days.
