Curious about lead or copper in your home’s drinking water? Let us help you find out!

We are seeking water samples from the following towns: Andover, Dracut, Lawrence and Lowell

Researchers from UMass Lowell are working closely with community members (residents, neighborhood groups, nonprofits, drinking water utilities, regulatory agencies and elected leaders) to pilot a smart water-quality monitoring system.

If you would like more information on the project, please visit the Smart & Connected Communities for Cleanwater website.
Please register if you would like to be a sample collector.
