If you are in NYC you can test your water for free: http://www1.nyc.gov/nyc-resources/service/1266/request-lead-...

Yup! There are a number of great cities that offer free lead testing services. Unfortunately, it seems to be the exception - not the norm. And often these aren't the places that need it the most.

Also, using city provided services can 6-8 weeks to get results. In an experiment I did with one city's free testing service, you had to call them to place your order. I got a voicemail. It took 4 months to get a call back.

We provide results in less than 2 weeks from when you ship your water sample off to the lab.
