Your move
Test your own tap with a certified lab first-draw sample; Alanson, MI may offer free or low-cost kits through the utility.

Ask Artesian Springs Rv Resort whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.

What a 90th-percentile result does and does not tell you: how to read a lead result. The action level is dropping - the 10 ppb rule from 2027.
