KNOW YOUR WATER. TEST YOUR WATER. TREAT YOUR WATER.
Clean water isn't guaranteed. Most people assume their tap water is safe because it comes from a municipal system – but municipal treatment isn't perfect, aging infrastructure introduces contamination after the water leaves the plant, and the standards used to define "safe" are updated far less frequently than the science that questions them.
We've put together the tools to make that easy – whether you're checking your city's public records for free, getting your specific water professionally tested, or finding the right treatment solution for your home or your kit.
Check your city's water quality for free.
The EPA requires public water systems to report violations and contamination levels. That data is publicly available, and most people just don't know where to find it. Use the tool below to look up your local municipality's water quality data, active violations, and historical contamination records at no cost.
This tool pulls from publicly available EPA data and reflects municipal system-level reporting. It shows what the water system reported, not necessarily what's coming out of your specific tap, which can be affected by your home's plumbing, local service lines, and infrastructure between the main and your faucet. To know what exactly is coming out of the tap in your house, see Step 2 below for our testing recommendations.
Whether or not you found a violation in your municipal data, getting a test specific to your water is the logical next step. Municipal data tells you what the system reported. A professional water test tells you what's actually coming out of your source.
We recommend Tap Score for water testing. Their mail-in test kits are straightforward – you collect a sample at your tap, send it in, and receive a detailed report of exactly what's in your water and what it means for your health. No lab visit required.
No matter what the tests reveal, we have multiple recommended solutions for you in Step 3 to remove those contaminants and deliver you and your family the best water possible.

If your water test comes back with results you're not comfortable with, the solution depends on the contamination type and how comprehensive you want your coverage to be.
