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

Ask City Of Huntington whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.

The lead result guide covers how utilities pick the homes they sample. Systems that went over once often dip back under; here is what that means.
