City water gets treated before it leaves the plant, but the trip through old pipes can change what actually reaches your tap. The Basic City Water Test screens 48 substances for $169, including lead, arsenic, and common metals.
Most cities in the US run on decades-old water infrastructure, and pipes don’t fail all at once. Small leaks and corrosion build up over years, often without any visible sign at your faucet. This test lets you check your tap directly, instead of relying only on your city’s system-wide report.
If your home sits near a gas station, dry cleaner, or landfill, our Premium City Water Test adds more coverage. For our widest city panel, see the Ultimate City Water Test, or add our PFAS “Forever Chemical” Test for 18 more compounds.
Every test we run includes free expert consultation to go over your results, free shipping both ways, and a money-back guarantee.

This test fits anyone on municipal water who wants a first look at their tap. It works well for renters, new homeowners, or anyone who has never tested before.
It is also a good fit if you want peace of mind without paying for substances your city’s treatment process already handles. Since this test runs through our own accredited lab, you get real, documented results instead of a strip from a hardware store shelf.
Curious what a result means once you get it? Our contaminant glossary explains common substances in plain language. Want to see the process before you order? Our video library shows what to expect from start to finish. For more on city and town water in general, check our blog.
