For anything other than bacteria you have to use one of the labs already noted.

OK the Laconia Water Dept still does the bacteria test for $17. Here are our results for this year:

I wonder if it would test differently in August? I've tested mine in the spring with similar good results. At most public swimming areas, tested frequently, the e.coli shows up after heavy rain.

We have run the test mid summer in some prior years with the same result.
