Laboratory Accreditation
Many Maine residents access their drinking water from a private well. Well water may contain metals or bacteria harmful to human health. It's recommended to test your private drinking water annually for coliform bacteria, E. coli, nitrates, and nitrites, and every 3-5 years for copper, iron, pH, manganese, lead, arsenic, magnesium, fluoride, chloride, sodium, hardness, uranium, and radon.

The Health Inspection Program provides licensing and inspection services to businesses to protect public health. These businesses include but are not limited to restaurants, lodging, campgrounds, youth camps, public swimming pools and spas, tattooists, micropigmentation, body piercing, electrolysists, school cafeterias, and mass gatherings.
