Public Water is Not Immune From Contamination
In Maine, public drinking water is supplied primarily by ground and surface water sources such as lakes and streams, then treated by municipalities. On its way to your faucet, however, contaminants can make their way into your drinking water. Older homes, for example, are often susceptible due to older plumbing materials. Common contaminants found while making its way through your house include naturally occurring chemicals and minerals, along with various treatment chemicals. As a result, public water testing after the water enters your house has become more popular.
Fontus Offers Testing for Public Drinking Water
While all public water is tested and treated by municipalities, many people feel more secure having the water at their home and office tested privately. If you’ve noticed a new odor or taste to your water, or you have an older home and want to make sure the pipes aren’t leaching lead, Fontus can help.

We’ll test your water for treatment chemicals such as chlorine chloramines and fluoride, then provide immediate results. We’ll explain your results and gladly stay until you feel you understand the findings completely.
Independent corroboration
Above all, we aim to earn your trust. That’s why we also send a second test to the Maine State Laboratory, so you’ll have independent corroboration.
