How Participation Works

  1. Receive your sample kit. We will mail a water sample kit in early June or shortly after you sign up.
  2. Collect one sample. Take one water sample from your kitchen faucet within one week of receiving the kit.
  3. Return the kit. Use the prepaid FedEx label to return your sample.
  4. Receive your $50 bill credit and free lead and copper test results!

Your $50 bill credit will be applied after your sample is returned. Test results will be shared as soon as possible and may take up to eight weeks.
