    Declan collins in Lacken does water testing. PM me and i'll send you a number. he comes to the site to take the sample because for planning you can't send it off... could be from a bottle of ballygowan! :-) have got him before when building the house before putting in the planning.

    I have sent off samples myself when dealing with private wells and planning permission. Mayo Co Co. had no problem with that.

    On this subject, is there any reason for me to get my water tested if I'm on Castlebar town's public system ?
    My house is in a town estate built ca. 1996.
    I always assumed water in the town is ok until reports over summer of other large towns whose water contains lead, etc.
    Mind you, these systems were probably built a lot longer ago than ours ...
