Private Domestic Drinking Water

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 3 out of every 10 private wells in Ireland may be contaminated. Regular testing of your drinking water is recommended to ensure it is safe to drink. Fitz Scientific offers a full drinking water testing service for private wells, group water schemes and mains water supplies. All analysis is INAB accredited to ISO17025 standards, giving you confidence that your results are accurate and will be accepted by County Councils for the purpose of Well Grant applications.

Option 2 - Technician water sampling service

If you require an independent test, you can schedule a Technician from Fitz Scientific to call to your home and take the drinking water sample for you. The cost of this depends on your location so if you wish to contact us with your name, location and phone number, we will reply to your query promptly. This option is required where you intend on applying for a Well Grant.

Well Grants

For all local authorities a trained technician from an accredited laboratory is required to take the sample - not the applicant - so please check in advance with your own local authority that you are following the correct procedure to qualify.
