Utility results describe the whole system, measured where water enters the pipes, not your tap. Your home’s plumbing can add lead or copper. 1 number we weren’t sure about is held back until a person checks.

What you can do

Nothing in this report is above a health goal or legal limit. If you’re bothered by taste, smell, hardness or spots, or your home has older pipes, the filter catalog and buyer questions can help you pick, and a test of your own tap shows what your plumbing adds.
