City Drinking Water Test

This one-bottle test provides a certified laboratory analysis of lead, arsenic, and pH in your drinking water.

If you are concerned about more than just lead in your water supply, this is the test for you. Our City Drinking Water Test uses EPA 200.8 testing methodology and follows the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) standards for testing.

Lead is commonly found in drinking water in homes, businesses, or other facilities with aging pipes and fixtures. It may leach from distribution lines or other plumbing after it leaves a utility or from lead pipes or fixtures in your building.

Arsenic is found in groundwater sources across the United States. It can be further released into water supplies by mining and industrial activities. 

pH is a measurable quality of all water. Pure water has a pH of 7.0, while most water delivered by a public water system will be around 7.5. pH levels that are too low can lead to chemical leaching, and pH levels that are too high can be unpleasant to drink.

Here's how it works: You receive your sample kit in the mail. It includes a bottle, instructions, and a chain of custody form. You'll read the instructions, fill your sample bottle, and fill out your chain of custody form. You then place the filled sample bottle and the chain of custody form in the box. Adhere the prepaid shipping label included in your kit over the previous shipping label on the box. You can then put the kit in your mailbox, or take it to the post office to send it straight to our partner laboratory for analysis. You'll receive your lead, arsenic, and pH results via email within 3 weeks of sending your sample to the lab.
