A megaphone with the word Important under it.

If you plan to drop-off water or radon samples the week of Thanksgiving, they will only be accepted on Monday and Tuesday.

State offices are closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday 11/28 and Friday 11/29. Samples cannot be accepted by district offices on Wednesday 11/27 because they will not reach the Lab in time for testing.

An exclamation point with the word New under it.

Flood Impacted Wells/Springs
