Water System Testing: Lead and Copper

 

Owners of water systems serving the public are required to submit samples for lead and copper testing to comply with federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) amendments.

The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) is certified for SDWA testing and is available to help you fulfill requirements by providing analyses of your system for:

• lead and copper
• water quality parameters, including pH, conductivity, calcium, alkalinity, orthophosphate (when inhibitors containing a phosphate component are used) and silica (when inhibitors containing a silicate compound are used)
