Hello, On June 24, 2019 the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Drinking Water Laboratory updated 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 base of the neck of the bottle. Effective September 24, 2019 samples that are overfilled above the base of the neck using the older style one-fill line bottle or above the MAX FILL line using the new style two-line bottle will be rejected per United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) guidance, because they may not allow for adequate mixing of the sample during testing at the laboratory.
Contact Marlene Kane at 517-335-8076 or kanem4@michigan.gov 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, and thanks for reading.
