Milwaukee tests its Lake Michigan source more than almost any city in the country, and still can’t tell you what’s happening in your own pipes. ETR Laboratories closes that gap, with lab-run results and a free expert consult in every kit.

Milwaukee's water infrastructure earned a D grade despite the city's strong record on source water testing. Roughly 65,000 lead service lines remain active, concentrated in homes built before 1986. Lead produces no color, taste, or smell, so a service line like this gives no warning on its own. Our water quality experts have read this exact pattern in older Midwest housing stock for over 30 years.
Milwaukee Water Works has tested Lake Michigan for PFAS since 2008, well ahead of most utilities in the country. That diligence covers the lake itself, but the Milwaukee River Basin tells a different story, with firefighting foam near Mitchell Airport linked to contamination in Wilson Creek and the Kinnickinnic River. Homes on private wells or older plumbing near these waterways face a different exposure picture than the citywide lake average suggests.
Milwaukee disinfects with chloramine instead of straight chlorine, which cuts down on the byproducts most cities deal with from chlorine alone. That's a real advantage, but chloramine introduces its own considerations, including ammonia byproducts that a standard chlorine test won't catch. Our in-house lab runs the specific panels this treatment method calls for, not a generic disinfection byproduct screen built for a different city.

“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.”
“Incredible lab, they really care about their customers. As someone who doesn’t know a whole lot about water quality, they took their time to help me understand everything about my water quality situation.”
