EBMUD has a lead sample voucher program for all customers. Although we removed all known lead service lines from our system years ago, we want to empower you to test the plumbing in your home or business if you suspect it may contain lead. Once per year, you may request a voucher for a certified lab to test your tap water for free. It doesn't matter if you're a renter or property owner. Request a lead sample voucher by calling Customer Service at 1-866-403-2683 or completing the Contact us form, or sending an email to customerservice@ebmud.com.
Once we receive your request for a lead test voucher, we'll mail you a kit that includes the following:
- Lead Sample Voucher with sampling instructions
- Lead information sheet with additional information about lead
- One 1-liter plastic sample bottle
- One plastic bag to contain any leaks
- Bubble wrap for shipping
- Return mailing label pre-addressed to EBMUD
- Pre-paid postage (valid for 30 days)
Please remember to fill out the form completely and include it in the box with the water sample.
