Oklahoma labs
Two paths are independently verified for private well owners through the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) State Environmental Laboratory Services (SELS): (1) private Total Coliform / E. coli sampling with DEQ kits and a published private sampling guide (return within 28 hours; do not ship Friday or weekend); (2) private chemistry including nitrate/nitrite (private guide; return within 48 hours), lead, and the Water Wellness panel described in DEQ’s Private Well Analysis fact sheet. Request kits by Water Test Request, phone 405-702-1000, or email selsd@deq.ok.gov. The table below lists 17 in-state laboratories tagged Commercial on DEQ’s Accredited_Labs_2026 GIS roster (retrieved 18 September 2026). Municipal / utility plants, permittee and industrial labs, state SELS and agriculture labs, research labs, and out-of-state entries are omitted from the commercial table. Call before you collect water.

Sample Collection Assistance · Private Total Coliform & E. coli sampling guide (PDF) · Water Test Request · Technical Assistance
DEQ SELS publishes a private-customer sampling guide for SM 9223B Total Coliforms and E. coli. As printed: plan enough time so samples are returned within 28 hours of collection; do not ship on a Friday or weekend; use the DEQ kit (chain of custody, 100 mL bottle with preservative, barcode label when provided).
How to get supplies (as printed on SELS pages): call 405-702-1000, email selsd@deq.ok.gov, or use the Water Test Request form (mailed kit or pick-up at the lab). Technical Assistance states there are no state rules requiring private-well testing, but lenders often require Total Coliform and E. coli before closing.
Delivery (as printed on the private TC guide): courier — Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, State Environmental Laboratory, 707 N. Robinson, Oklahoma City, OK 73102; USPS — P.O. Box 1677, Oklahoma City, OK 73102; personal delivery — Sample Management Unit (northeast corner door), Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except state holidays.

SELS private chemistry / Water Wellness
Water Test Request · Private Water Well Analysis (PDF) · Home Water Testing (PDF) · Private Nitrate + Nitrite sampling guide (PDF) · Laboratory Services Fees
DEQ’s Private Well Analysis fact sheet states federal and Oklahoma governments do not regulate privately owned wells; the private well owner is responsible for testing. The fact sheet describes SELS’s Water Wellness panel as including chloride, conductivity, copper, hardness, iron, lead, manganese, nitrate/nitrite, pH, sodium, and sulfate.
Home Water Testing (fact sheet dated 10/2024) recommends testing private supplies every year for total coliform bacteria, nitrate/nitrite, conductivity, and pH (and more often after well work or a noticeable change).
Private Nitrate + Nitrite sampling instructions (EPA 353.2) state samples must be returned within 48 hours in the DEQ-provided bottle. Confirm which parameters are available for private customers, bottle orders, hold times, and current fees before you collect.
