Well Water Testing - Hurricane Helene Response

In response to the flooding associated with Hurricane Helene, the Henderson County Department of Public Health will provide well water sampling at no charge to residents of Henderson County impacted by the storm. This testing is solely for determining the presence of coliform bacteria and E. coli in existing private drinking water wells following disinfection. 

Post-flood well water samples can only be collected following performance of the recovery steps described in the Department’s How to Keep Wells Safe After Flood guidance.

For additional disaster recover information, please visit the Department’s Disaster Recovery website.

If you have questions about recovery or other well water testing needs, please contact NCSLPH Customer Service at 919-733-3937.

Hurricane Helene Response Water Testing is only available for residents with existing private drinking water wells. If you are on the City of Hendersonville Water and Sewer System, please visit Hendersonville Water and Sewer Water Alerts. Refer to the Current Water System Alert Status Map to check if your property is still under a System Pressure Advisory or if it has been cleared.
