If you are unsure whether the water is safe to drink, swim in or whether you need to get any other water quality analyses done, you can get your water tested by Environment Canterbury’s water laboratory.
About the laboratory
The Environment Canterbury water lab performs water testing for Environment Canterbury sections but can also provide water quality analyses for private individuals, other councils, consultants and industry. The Environment Canterbury lab provides a comprehensive range of biological, chemical and metal tests for drinking water, groundwater, effluents, sea water, river water, etc. (but not for trade waste water).
