As COVID-19 continues to impact us locally, we will be closing all Public Health Madison & Dane County offices to the public effective Thursday, March 19, 2020.
Although this decision was not arrived at easily, it is a decision that we needed to make. We are prioritizing preserving the health and safety of our staff and clients while continuing to maintain our ability to provide essential services, including our response to COVID-19.
We will continue providing services through alternate avenues, detailed below, but at this time we are reducing our direct contact with the public.
Our laboratory performs water quality and paint sample tests every year to protect individual and environmental health.
The Lab will be reducing testing services. Specifically:
Private Water and Lead Paint Testing resumes August 10th with new measures put in place. Please call (608) 243-0357 or e-mail lab@publichealthmdc.com for general water testing questions.
Other laboratory services will continue as detailed below.
