Why Water Testing Matters in Detroit

Detroit's Aging Infrastructure Is a Real Risk

Detroit has over 80,000 lead service lines, many connected to homes built before 1945. Lead can leach directly from those pipes and household solder into drinking water, and it produces no smell, color, or taste. Much of Detroit's water infrastructure is over 100 years old, contributing to frequent main breaks and significant water loss throughout the distribution system. The EPA estimates US water systems lose approximately 2 trillion gallons of treated water annually through aging infrastructure, and nationwide, a water main breaks somewhere in the country every two minutes. Each one of those breaks is a potential entry point for contamination. Annual detroit water testing is the most straightforward way to confirm what is actually reaching your tap.

Municipal Treatment Does Not Guarantee What Reaches Your Tap

Water that passes treatment standards at the plant travels through miles of aging infrastructure before it reaches your faucet. Chlorine used to disinfect municipal water reacts with naturally occurring organic matter to form trihalomethanes, compounds linked to increased health risks with long-term exposure. PFAS and bacteria have also been documented in municipal water systems across Michigan. Your city's annual water quality report only reflects conditions at the treatment facility, not at your specific tap.

Well Water in the Detroit Region Requires Its Own Testing

Private wells in the greater Detroit area and surrounding communities face contamination risks from agricultural runoff, industrial activity, septic systems, and natural geology. Private wells receive zero routine regulatory oversight, which means testing is entirely the responsibility of the homeowner. Unlike many testing companies that route samples to outside facilities, every well water sample we receive is run start to finish in our own lab by our own scientists. Annual well water testing in Detroit is the single most important thing a well owner can do to protect their household.

Angi

“The test was simple–collect a water sample from a faucet in the home. We sent the test to the lab and received a water quality analysis within a few days. The test included analysis of the water sample for the presence of: coliform bacteria, E. coli, iron, lead, pH, turbidity, and nitrates/nitrites.”
