UNIT 30 Bacteriological Sample Container Update

Hello,

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Drinking Water Laboratory is updating its Unit 30 sample container for bacteriological testing.

The new Unit 30 sample container has a 100 mL fill line plus a new MAX FILL line to help customers collect and submit bacteriological samples for testing that meet compliance under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The old sample container has a 100 mL fill line only and may not allow for adequate mixing if the sample is filled above the neck of the bottle.

The new two-line sample container is now available for pickup at the laboratory and will begin shipping to customers immediately. The older one-line bottle will still be accepted by the laboratory if the sample is submitted following the guidance in the diagram below. Samples collected in either sample container below the 100 mL fill line will be rejected.

Contact the laboratory at 517-335-8184 with additional questions on this Unit 30 sample container update.

Watch for future emails from the EGLE Drinking Water Laboratory for additional news and announcements.

Sincerely,

The EGLE Drinking Water Laboratory Team
