Lab Changes Coming in January

Dec 19, 2016

As of January 1, 2017 the Okanogan County Public Health Water Laboratory will only accept nitrate samples on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, until 3pm each day.

Coliform bacteria samples will still be accepted on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, up until 3pm each day.

This change has been made to improve economy and efficiency in laboratory operations, and to compensate for lower staffing levels. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

If there are any questions, please call Okanogan County Public Health at 422-7140.
