The University Arizona Cooperative Extension

Well Water Test Kits are Currently Available
The Master Watershed Stewards of Yavapai County and the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Offices for Yavapai County are making two types of water testing kits available as part of National Drinking Water Week May 4-10. These “use at home” kits are accurate and require about 30 minutes of your time. The results are not “certified” but are reliable and should provide an immediate warning to suggest further examination if necessary. With your kit(s) you will receive a list of laboratories to contact should you wish to have the results further analyzed.
The “basic” kit is a 5-parameter kit and it tests for pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, nitrite and nitrate and costs $8.00. The “arsenic” kit tests for arsenic and costs $24.00.

The kits can be purchased directly at the following two locations:
On May 6th, 2008 from 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. and 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the meeting room of Yavapai County Extension office, 840 Rodeo Dr. #C, Prescott, Arizona.
On May 8th, 2008 from 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. and 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Yavapai County Verde Annex Building, 10 South 6th Street, Cottonwood, Arizona.
