UPDATE: Barnstable County Water Quality Lab is now conducting PFAS sampling! Kits and instructions can be picked up from the Truro Health Department (24 Town Hall Rd) or the lab (3195 Main Street in Barnstable). The cost is $265.00. The courier service can still be used for this sampling process, or you can drop the sample off directly to the lab. Drop off hours are Monday - Thursday, from 8am-4pm, and from 8am-12pm on Fridays.
- If you have any questions, please call the lab directly at 508-375-6605.
Envirotech Laboratories out of Sandwich does offer the testing for residential properties. If you are interested in the testing or have general questions for them, give them a call at 508-888-6460.
Important items to take note of:
- The testing kits have to be picked up AND dropped off from their Sandwich location - 8 Jan Sebastian Dr., Unit 12, Sandwich MA 02563.
- The test is VERY sensitive. Homeowners can conduct the test themselves, but Envirotech encourages the property owner to have Envirotech staff conduct the testing themselves. This helps ensure that it is done correctly the first time, therefore saving the property owner from the cost of retesting.
- As of 11/16/2022, the cost for PFAs testing is $495.00; the additional fee for having Envirotech staff conduct the test themselves is $65.00.
- The turn around time is 14-days.
- The testing itself is sub-contracted out through Envirotech.
