We're getting into the off-season now, time to go off the deep end in the science world again. Topic for today is water testing. I'm curious about my drinking water at the cabin, my would-be pond water quality, and my city water source where I live when I'm not in the woods. I spoke to Midwest Labs this afternoon and they can do glyphosate and atrazine tests, but they do not do neonicotinoids and pharmaceutical contamination testing. They referred me to a lab in Oregon that may be able to test for neonics and pharmaceuticals. I've got a message into the dude that handles that out there, and I'm waiting for a call back.
I mostly want to make sure where my fish pond will be, that I've got good water and not something that's gonna throw things off. I'm also concerned about the water I'm drinking at the cabin. There's no indicator that there's any problems, but I just wanna make sure I'm not drinking out of a buried used oil dump or garbage pile I haven't found nearby.
I'm really curious about the city water, because my city gets 82% of it's water from ag and storm sewer runoff. The tests they run look good, but I'm concerned about the stuff for which they are not testing.
