Lead in Drinking Water

Partner performs complete lead in drinking water sampling services for both public and private clients, which may run concurrently with our environmental site assessments (ESAs). Lead in drinking water sampling is performed in accordance with EPA guidelines; however, other authorities, such as those run on the state level, have additional requirements for the testing of lead in drinking water.

Partner also provides valuable recommendations to mitigate lead in drinking water issues in the event that analytical results are above the EPA action level or other applicable standards.  The mitigation action level is either suggested or required in a state.

Digging Deeper

Partner does more than just collect samples for lead and other constituents.  We ensure that the sampling methodology and procedures are compliant with the applicable regulations.  For sampling drinking water in schools, Partner utilizes EPA’s “3 T’s for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools”, which includes developing lead sampling plans and quality assurance project plans. If sample results are above the EPA’s action level, Partner will work with you to determine appropriate next steps and remediation options, which may include resampling, developing flushing plans, or replacing piping.

What’s Involved in Sampling

  • Partner conducts a pre-sampling inspection of the building to identify each source to be tested.
  • Partner collects drinking water samples based upon the requirements of the project; however, this typically includes point source locations (i.e., those that occupants may drink from).
  • Partner collects “initial draw” and “flush” samples, as appropriate.
  • Analyze samples with appropriate methodology based on the applicable regulations.
  • Prepare a report summarizing methods, lab results, and recommendations, as necessary.
