New water testing site

Here is the GPS for the water testing location.
There will be a small municipal structure there with a gravel roundabout. There isn't an actual physical address but you should see vehicles there- I'll have a grey truck with hippie stickers on it :) Also, it won't take you 32 minutes to get there!! I'm in Lincolnton, your drive should be very short!
