Why Water Testing Matters in Columbus

A Columbus Lawmaker Is Behind the Push to Remove Ohio's Lead Pipes

State Rep. Dontavius Jarrells, who represents Columbus, co-sponsored a bill requiring every public water system in Ohio to replace its lead lines within 15 years. Ohio ranks third in the nation for lead service lines, with an estimated 745,000 still active statewide. The bill remains in committee, so no mandate protects Columbus homes yet. Our lead in drinking water test gives you an answer now instead of waiting on a bill to pass.

Trihalomethane Levels Here Run Far Past Health Guidelines

Columbus treats water pulled from three reservoirs, Griggs, O'Shaughnessy, and Hoover, using chlorine as the primary disinfectant. Chlorine reacting with organic matter in that surface water has pushed trihalomethane levels to roughly 277 times an independent health guideline, even while staying under the legal limit. Our in-house lab runs the same disinfection byproduct panels that other testing companies send us when they need results they trust.

Voluntary PFAS Testing Is a Choice, Not a Requirement

Federal rules don't yet require Columbus to test for PFAS, but the city does it anyway and has found trace amounts of PFBA, PFHxA, and PFPeA. That choice reflects well on the utility, and it still leaves individual households without a number specific to their own tap. Our PFAS "forever chemical" drinking water test closes that gap for your address, not the citywide average.

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.”
