    Microbac Laboratories is excited to announce that we’re an
    EPA Accredited UCMR 5 Testing Lab

    What is UCMR 5?

    UCMR 5 (Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 5) was published by the EPA on December 27, 2021. UCMR 5 requires sample collection for 30 chemical contaminants – 29 PFAS chemicals and lithium – between 2023 and 2025. This new data will lead to a better understanding of our drinking water and how to prioritize improvements.

    We have been working with UCMR 5 clients since the beginning of 2022 to develop a plan and budget for the UCMR 5 requirements. Scroll down to contact us with your questions or to schedule a discussion for your organization.

    Are you required to perform UCMR 5 testing?

    All public water systems (PWS) serving more than 10,000 people are required to perform sampling on a quarterly or semi-annual basis for one year.

    EPA UCMR 5 Accreditation

    To continue our legacy as a preferred UCMR testing laboratory, along with our previous UCMR 4 accreditation we are also now a UCMR 5 accredited testing lab.
