Here is how to safely collect water directly from a borehole or wellpoint:

1. Flush the System

Run the water: Open the tap fully.
Wait two minutes: Let water run to clear standing water.
Clear the lines: This ensures you collect fresh groundwater.

2. Prepare the Container

Use clean bottles: Select food-grade plastic or glass containers.
Wash thoroughly: Clean with warm, soapy water first.
Rinse completely: Use safe, clean water to remove residue.
Sanitise if testing: Use a sterile container for bacterial tests.

3. Collect the Sample

Avoid contact: Do not touch the inside of the cap.
Keep tap clear: Do not let the tap touch the container.
Fill carefully: Reduce the flow to prevent splashing.
Seal immediately: Screw the cap on tightly right away.

4. Label the Sample Container

Print out and sign the downloadable "Water Analysis Request Form" as per the instructions and label the water sample container as directed to assist in processing and tracking
