Over the fall and winter months, water testing services will be moving from weekly to monthly pick-up. Water samples will now be processed on the FIRST Tuesday of each month effective Tuesday, October 7, 2025. Water samples will need to be at the CCE Office, 28 Parkside Drive, Ellicottville by 9 AM the FIRST Tuesday of the month for processing.
Water Testing Kits are available for pick up in the CCE Cattaraugus office during business hours (9:00am-4:30pm). Results are sent directly to the home/farm as soon as they are available.
Are you considering a home water test? Homeowners with wells are responsible for ensuring their own water quality. If safeguarding the health of you and your family is a priority, testing your well water on a regular basis is strongly recommended.
Farms need an adequate and safe water supply for the production of crops and to sustain healthy livestock and poultry. If you use well, pond, river or another unregulated water source to water your crop or animals, you are at risk of exposing your product, and the consumer of your product, to contaminants.
Please contact Cattaraugus County CCE at (716) 699-2377 ext. 106 or Lozier Environmental Consulting, Inc. at 585-654-9080 with any questions.
