- - Glyphosate
For those who may not recognize the chemical name Glyphosate, it is the most widely used herbicide on the market today, known as Roundup™. I’m sure many of us have a bottle of this on hand to deal with those pesky weeds in our landscaping. This test would solely look for glyphosate with a detection level of 0.1 mg/L or parts per million.

Customer Questions
The type of analysis you choose should be based upon your specific concerns, your water source and what contaminates may potentially be in the water. If you are on a city water supply, you may want to test for the by-products of disinfection and heavy metals as they are likely to be in the water. If you are on a private well it is important to test for bacteria as that is a common contaminant, as well as naturally occurring contaminants such as arsenic, radon, barium, iron and manganese.
Water quality can vary greatly based upon natural fluctuations in the water source and the types of treatment techniques utilized by the water department. If you are on a private well, there are no regulations which require regular testing of the water, so you are responsible for ensuring the water is safe to drink. The EPA recommends minimally testing your water at least once a year for bacteria and nitrates.
This will also depend on the type of analysis you choose, as some tests can be performed more quickly than others. We have several Quick Series packages in which results are available within 2-3 days of receipt at the laboratory. For our more comprehensive testing packages like the Well Check Deluxe it does take about 10-12 business days.

FAQs
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in many common weed control products, including Roundup™. It’s widely used in agriculture, landscaping, and lawn care, and can seep into groundwater or private wells through runoff. A glyphosate water test helps you determine if this chemical has entered your drinking water supply.
Homeowners who rely on private wells near farms, golf courses, or areas where herbicides are used should consider testing. Even city water customers may want to test if they suspect contamination from nearby agricultural or lawn treatments.
Private well owners should test for glyphosate at least once a year or after events such as flooding, heavy rainfall, or pesticide application in surrounding areas. If you’ve had past herbicide contamination, more frequent testing is recommended.
