ETR Laboratories is accredited by ANAB for specific testing as listed in our scope of accreditation.
Testing at the Bachman Water Treatment Plant identified three PFAS compounds in Dallas's supply, including PFOA at 6.3 parts per trillion and PFOS at 4.4 parts per trillion, both above the EPA's 2024 federal limit of 4 parts per trillion. These are synthetic chemicals that do not break down in the environment or in the body, and standard chlorine disinfection does not remove them. Dallas filed a lawsuit in 2025 against manufacturers including 3M and DuPont over PFAS contamination linked to firefighting foam used at airports and military installations in the region. The legal process will take years. Annual water testing in Dallas is how residents find out what levels are reaching their home right now.
Consumer Confidence Reports document conditions at the treatment facility, not at your tap. Dallas's distribution system spans one river and six reservoir sources, covering one of the largest municipal water networks in the country. An analysis found 38 contaminants in Dallas's supply, 17 of which exceeded EWG health-based guidelines, including nitrates at nearly five times the recommended threshold and chromium-6 above the EWG limit. Homes in older Dallas neighborhoods with aging internal plumbing face additional exposure risk that system-wide averages do not reflect. The report your utility mails you describes their system. A lab test describes yours.
Private wells across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex are outside Dallas Water Utilities’ treatment and monitoring system. Because Texas does not require routine drinking-water monitoring for domestic private wells, homeowners are responsible for testing and tracking water quality themselves, and groundwater conditions can change with drought, rainfall, and land-use pressures. And, unlike many testing companies that route samples to outside facilities, every well water sample sent to ETR Labs is run start to finish in our own lab by our own scientists.

“The test was simple–collect a water sample from a faucet in the home. We sent the test to the lab and received a water quality analysis within a few days. The test included analysis of the water sample for the presence of: coliform bacteria, E. coli, iron, lead, pH, turbidity, and nitrates/nitrites.”
“Incredible lab, they really care about their customers. As someone who doesn’t know a whole lot about water quality, they took their time to help me understand everything about my water quality situation.”
