Orlando, Florida, December 9, 2025
EMSL's Orlando, FL testing laboratory is now providing water quality testing. The FHA/VA water test kit at EMSL provides all the necessary sampling supplies, cooler and ice packs to send samples back to the laboratory for testing. This comprehensive test detects Nitrate, Nitrite, pH, Lead, and the presence of Coliform and E. coli bacteria, making it an essential tool for anyone using a private or shared well, or financing a home purchase through a loan agency.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires water testing prior to approving a house with a private well for FHA mortgage insurance. HUD/FHA limits are based on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) drinking water Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs).
