Water quality testing is a common test for those concerned about the water coming out of their taps. It is most popular for those who have a well for their drinking water, but we often have requests from those that live right in the middle of subdivisions. The results can help identify the need for specialty filters, and or old lead supply piping.
This test is best performed in the morning by drawing the sample from the first flow of water first thing in the morning. This allows for more accurate readings of leaching lead from either the pipes or the copper pipe solder joints.
