Water Testing and Analysis

Soil Control Lab's ELAP certification has lapsed and is currently in the re-permitting process. This means our high standards of precision testing is still the same, but will not be currently accepted for permitting or Santa Cruz County house sale purposes. You can still pick up bottles and drop off ELAP required water samples as there is a courier service that will take them to an ELAP permitted lab for a fee. In the mean time, our services are still available for anyone interested in water tests for personal knowledge. We offer testing for drinking water, irrigation water and waste waters.
