Water Sampling

Contact Us

The FDOH in Martin County samples wells around contamination sites and wells that are regulated by our office. 

What should I test my well for?

If you are not having specific problems, a good start is to test for disease-causing bacteria, nitrate and lead.  These samples must be taken and transported using approved techniques.

How can I look up my well permit?
To access well permit information on your property, follow these steps:

Ebridge 
User Name: PUBLIC
Password: PUBLIC
File Cabinet: MARTIN COUNTY (enter MARTIN COUNTY as two separate words)
Click Login
On the top of the page, click Retrieve
On the drop down menu, choose permit type. There are three (3) categories: Septic, Well, and I/M (Industrial Manufacturing and Commercial systems).
Enter the property address (i.e. house number), street name (without north, east, west, or south), and other information such as lot, block and subdivision. Usually entering just a house number is a good idea as it will bring up two or three properties to choose from. Once you have accessed information on your property, you will be able to rotate the site plans, using the buttons on top. You also have the ability to print out the information or e-mail it to your contractor.
