A property-specific water report

Sampling can be designed around the water source, plumbing and purpose of the investigation.

Test for the concern you actually have

Lead, bacteria, PFAS, VOCs, metals and other contaminants require specific laboratory analysis rather than a generic 'water test.'

Water quality reporting

Professional Water Testing for Properties on a Public Supply

Annual water quality reports issued by public utilities describe the performance of the distribution system up to the point of compliance. They are accurate and useful documents, and they describe something other than the water arriving at a particular tap on a particular property.

Olympian Water Testing provides professional water testing for single family homes, apartments and condominiums, multifamily buildings, schools and childcare premises, medical and hospitality properties, commercial tenancies and industrial facilities throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Why a Utility Report and a Property Result Differ

Between the point of compliance and the glass sits a water service line, interior piping, valves, supply hoses and a fixture, all privately owned and frequently representing several construction eras operating in series.

Lead bearing components remain in current use throughout that path, including brass faucet bodies, angle stops, mixing valves, ball and gate valves and pipe fittings, so the age of a property is not a reliable indicator on its own.

Stagnation is the dominant variable for anything the plumbing contributes, which is why the same tap can return different values depending on how long water has been standing.

How Parameter Selection and Sampling Are Determined

Parameter selection is determined through an in depth consultation with one of our consultants, frequently conducted in writing, covering the property type, its plumbing history, the supply and the reason for testing.

Our sampling technicians perform the site visit. Sampling points are selected to reflect how the property is actually used, whether that is a single kitchen tap in a house, several fixtures across a premises, or points distributed through a larger property.

Where the parameter requires a stagnation period, it is requested from the client and the elapsed hours are entered in the field record. Samples are handled under documented chain of custody with holding times observed for every parameter selected.

Understanding Our Reporting

Reporting identifies each sampled location, the parameters analyzed, measured results and reporting limits for the selected testing.

Each value is set against the applicable published reference, with the category of that reference identified, so enforceable limits, health based goals and advisory guidance are not confused with one another.

Olympian Water Testing provides professional drinking-water sampling throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Testing is selected around the water source, property, plumbing system and reason for the investigation, with analysis performed by an accredited environmental laboratory.

Testing Across Every Property Type

A single family home, a rented apartment, a school, a restaurant and an industrial facility all draw from the same public supply and all present differently once the water enters private piping.

Olympian Water Testing has served every one of those property types across the New York metropolitan region since 1991, from five departure locations across the five boroughs, with NELAP accredited laboratory analysis.

Enquiries are received around the clock throughout the year, and parameter selection is determined before any sampling event is scheduled.

Common questions

What information should be included in a water-testing report?

A useful report should clearly identify the sample locations, parameters analyzed, laboratory results and reporting limits, with the laboratory documentation available for review.

Why do reporting limits matter on a water test?

A non-detect does not mean absolute zero. It means the laboratory did not detect the analyte above the reporting limit achieved for that analysis.

Can water-test results be compared between different sampling dates?

Yes, but the comparison is more meaningful when the same locations, parameters and appropriate sampling procedures are used. Changes in plumbing or system conditions should also be considered.

What is the difference between screening and a targeted water investigation?

Screening looks broadly for selected concerns. A targeted investigation is designed around a specific question, such as locating a lead source, evaluating discolored water or assessing a particular contaminant.
