Florida's Department of Health certifies laboratories to test drinking water under its Environmental Laboratory Certification Program, part of NELAP. A lab's certification covers specific methods and analytes, so check the lab's scope for your test. This page explains how, with official links and a neutral, alphabetical list.

See what your utility reported
A utility's report describes the water the utility treats and delivers. It doesn't measure your home's pipes, fixtures or a private well. People commonly have their own tap tested when:
A test is a snapshot of one sample on one day.
Find your utility's published results: /florida/utilities, or start from your county: Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach.
Put the substance, method and sampling instructions in writing with the lab. (We don't test water and have no relationship with any lab listed.)

Utility and government labs may test only their own system's samples; ask the lab whether it accepts samples from homeowners.
Labs elsewhere in Florida may accept mailed or delivered samples; check the official list.
Public data from the Florida Department of Health, NELAP certified laboratories. It isn't a test of your tap.
Private wells aren't covered by a public water utility's monitoring. FDOH states that it strongly recommends testing for bacteria and nitrate at least once a year and suggests lead about every three years for most homeowners. EPA says private well owners are responsible for their own water and advises using only laboratories certified for drinking-water testing. EPA also says your local health department may offer private-well testing.
County health departments can provide sampling instructions and help interpret results. FDOH lists Broward and Palm Beach among the counties where the county health department enforces local rules on testing new or repaired wells. FDOH's Miami state laboratory tests well water for E. coli and coliforms; nitrate isn't listed for that lab, so a nitrate test would need another certified lab. Fees vary; ask the lab or health department.
The Florida Department of Health's Environmental Laboratory Certification Program certifies labs for specific matrix, method and analyte combinations, under the national NELAP system. A lab can be certified for one test and not another, so ask for its scope.
FDOH's Environmental Laboratory Certification page links to the NELAP Certified Laboratory Search, which is hosted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The table above is built from it.
No. Your utility reports its own monitoring across its system; a lab result describes one sample from your tap on one day. Use the same units and the same substance when you compare, and ask your utility or county health department about differences.
That depends on what you want to know and on your water source. Ask the lab which methods it is certified for, and see EPA's list of approved drinking-water methods. We don't recommend tests or labs.
No. This page lists labs from the state's public list. We have no affiliation with any lab listed. ScoreYourWater.com is operated by a company that sells home water treatment equipment.
