What Is Potable Water Compliance Testing for Schools / Healthcare?
A structured program that inventories taps, selects the correct sampling protocol (e.g., first-draw/flush for metals, presence/absence for total coliform/E. coli, free/total chlorine/chloramine residual, temperature/pH/alkalinity), and—when requested for healthcare—supports water-management plans (e.g., Legionella sampling via specialty labs).
Results come with tap-level findings, pass/fail flags, and an action/verification plan aligned to your policy.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Compliance & safety first: First-draw/flush sequences, sterile technique where required, temperature control, and custody forms.
Defensible documentation: Tap inventory/map, photos, lab certificates, and an easy-to-read summary against current guidance.
Beyond testing: Fixture/supply line replacements, point-of-use certified filters, flushing/temperature/residual adjustments, and re-testing.
One accountable team: We coordinate off-hours sampling, infection-control precautions, and stakeholder communication.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Identify priority taps: drinking fountains, classroom sinks, nurse stations, kitchens, patient-care areas.
Avoid flushing or fixture changes the night before sampling (unless your protocol says otherwise).
Share site constraints: after-hours access, security, and infection-control rules.
Provide any existing policies (district/DOH/healthcare water program).
Call our 24/7 dispatcher—we’ll scope taps, schedule, and send pre-sampling instructions.
Common Situations We Handle
District-wide lead/copper surveys or targeted classroom checks
Healthcare potable systems needing documentation for audits
Post-construction or plumbing changes requiring clearance testing
Main breaks/low-pressure events needing boil-notice lift support
Annual verification for PM logs and board reports
Scope & Tap Inventory
Walk the site, confirm fixtures, priorities, and protocols; finalize the tap list and schedule.
Pre-Sampling Instructions
Issue stagnation/flushing guidance per method, identify aerator status, and prepare labeled bottles/coolers.
Field Collection
Collect first-draw/flush metals samples, sterile bacterial samples (with thiosulfate if chlorinated), and field parameters (free/total chlorine, pH, temperature).
Accredited Lab Analysis
Courier within hold times to accredited labs; optional add-ons (e.g., Legionella, VOCs) when policy requires.
Results & Interpretation
Compile a tap-by-tap report with thresholds, trend notes, and immediate precautions if any result exceeds guidance.
Corrective Action & Verification
Implement fixture/line changes, certified filtration, flushing/temperature/residual adjustments; schedule re-tests and finalize documentation.

Tap inventory & map with sampling protocol
Field parameters (e.g., free/total chlorine, temp, pH as scoped)
Accredited lab testing (e.g., lead/copper; total coliform/E. coli)
Chain-of-custody & photographs

Verification re-testing schedule and final packet
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: 1–4 hours on site depending on tap count; lab turnaround per panel (standard or rush).
Cost drivers: Number of taps, rush analysis, added parameters (e.g., Legionella), and re-testing rounds.
Clear estimate: Separate line items for collection, lab fees, report, and corrective work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you notify authorities if results are high?
We follow your district/healthcare policy and can assist with required notifications and communication.
Do you remove aerators?
We follow the specified protocol. When diagnostics help, we can sample both ways and note the condition.
Do you test hot water?
Compliance metals testing is usually cold taps; healthcare programs may include hot-water temperature/residual checks— we’ll align with your plan.
Can you help with long-term control, not just testing?
Yes—fixture/line replacements, certified filters, residual/temperature management, and flushing plans, plus re-testing.
Do you offer after-hours sampling?
Absolutely—before/after class or off-clinic windows to minimize disruption.
