Title: Water supply testing
Post by: GTRS Fiero on June 24, 2020, 06:32:53 pm

Consumer Reports is doing water testing across the USA.  You can participate by sending in samples.

Do you have any information on where to send the samples?  I've taken samples before when I was an enforcement officer and there's a very strict procedure as to how it's collected.  It must also be collected in a sealed and certified container, and labled with the chain of possession. 

We have black algae in our water system but the city says there is no harm in it and they don't test for it.  With Melanie's weak immune system, we didn't drink it.  Only bathe, boil and cook, and bathroom.

Edit to add: They do have you go through a training.  I'm sure all the other details Fierofool mentioned will also be addressed.

Is that before or after consumption?  ;)
