    Anywhere in Limerick I could have my drinking water tested, to make sure it's ok to drink?

    Thanks

    There was a place out in Raheen Business park that tested water.
    I think it may have been Mercury Analytical Ltd.

    I believe that has been taken over by a new company

    Damn Lab mix-ups - They told us last March to switch to bottled water as our domestic supply contained high levels of salt lick, sugar cubes, oats and Horse Tranquillisers :p

    The results might not be very accurate though. I'd definately prefer to send my samples to an ISO 17025 accredited analytical lab.

    Brother worked part-time in BHP for over a year. Their testing, analysis and inspection services are quite wide ranging. In addition to water and effluent analysis they also test air quality, measure noise levels, dust and vibration monitoring. They also provide a much broader range of test and inspection services.

    I actually gatecrashed my brothers Christmas night out when he was there:p. They were all a really nice bunch of chaps but staff may well have changed there somewhat since.
