Where can I go to get water testing free or very cheap in PA?

Question

The water in my rental apartment smells like sewage, but I do not have the money to test it, and the landlord doesn't seem to care. Where can I go to test it for very little cost?

Answer 1

I'll send U some sites, After looking if U don't find what U need then refine Ur search to Ur city. I would think U could contact the city or the health department or the water company. Tell them it's a possible health problem (& it could be ) they will be there soon. Till then take a look @ these sites I found 4 U.

Almost any local lab will test it for $30-50. You can also call the local health department and they will have it tested.
