NOTE: All samples must be analyzed by a certified laboratory. All applicable sample results must be received and approved by the Ohio EPA before the well can be considered for use as a public water source.
Additional analyses than what are listed may be required.
* If the result of a gross alpha analysis exceeds 5 pCi/l, radium 226 analysis must be done.
** If the gross alpha analysis exceeds 15 pCi/l, uranium analysis must be done.
