Laboratories Certified for Lead Analysis
in Drinking Water
Massachusetts Water Resources Authority
MWRA recommends taking samples from the kitchen's cold water faucet and also a first flush sample. Under EPA regulations, MWRA samples the first flush water that has been standing dormant (unused) for six or more hours, usually overnight. This checks the water in a worst-case scenario. To check the water that is more representative of your daily use, a sample should be taken after running the faucet for at least two minutes. If you have any questions, please call the MWRA Water Quality Hotline: (617) 242-5323, or contact your local water department.
Attention lab operators: kindly send updated contact information to: <kristin.macdougall@mwra.state.ma.us>.
