Why City Water Testing Is Different

Treated Water Is Not the Same as Safe Water

The EPA estimates US water systems lose approximately 2 trillion gallons of treated water annually through aging infrastructure. Every leak in that distribution system is a potential entry point for contamination. Water that leaves a treatment plant clean does not always arrive at your tap the same way. Most city water customers assume treatment is the end of the story. We have tested enough municipal water to know it rarely is.

City Water Has Contaminants Most Labs Skip

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. Homes built before 1986 carry real risk from lead service lines and solder that can leach directly into drinking water regardless of how the source water tests. Bacteria is something many testing companies skip entirely when testing city water, assuming treatment eliminates the need. We disagree. Given the scale of infrastructure leakage across the country, coliform and E. coli testing matters for municipal water customers too.

In-House Testing, Unbiased Advice

Every test is run start to finish in our own lab by our own scientists. Most labs, even ones that market themselves as water testing specialists, send some portion of their analysis to outside facilities. We have the equipment and in-house capacity to handle the full panel ourselves. Full-time quality control managers review every result before it leaves. And because we do not sell filtration products, when we tell you what your results mean, there is nothing to sell you on.

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.”
