During this time, the normal $18.00 analysis fee for testing for bacteria and nitrates will be reduced to $12.00. Sterile test bottles and sampling instructions are available at the Lake County Central Permit Facility, the main Health Department office at 3010 Grand Avenue in Waukegan, or at 16 separate township or municipal offices located throughout Lake County.
