This list of self-certified samplers have not been verified by OWP or the State.

You may also try calling an ELAP accredited lab to obtain a referral to a certified water operator or Certified External Water Sampler within your community as some of their staff also conduct sampling.
Only Certified External Water Samplers who have completed an External Water Sampler Self-Certification form (LIC 9275), including viewing and understanding of the sampler video may be used to conduct the CCC water collection.
Additionally, samplers selected will need to ensure providers that they use a lab with current California Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) accreditation.
If you are an eligible water sampler (as specified in the Written Directives) and you would like to share your contact information on this list for child care centers in need of water sampling for required lead testing, please email cccwatertesting@dss.ca.gov, and provide: name of organization, contact name, title, phone, email, and counties that can be serviced.
