Lead contamination is at the forefront of our mind these days, and it should be.
According to the New York Times:
The Environmental Protection Agency says streams tapped by water utilities serving a third of the population are not yet covered by clean-water laws that limit levels of toxic pollutants.
However with any health crisis, it’s important to know and understand the facts, and fortunately the facts are easy to find with a water test.
If you suspect or are concerned that you have lead present in your water, here’s what to do:
- Get your water tested. Contact us at Culligan of Ida and we’ll test your water for free.
- If lead is detected, we’ll send your water to our EPA-certified laboratory to test for a more detailed analysis.
- We’ll help you interpret your results so you can make an educated decision about what to do next.
If you have lead present in your water the best way to treat it is with reverse osmosis. A Culligan Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System reduces lead by 98.1% so you can feel confident in trusting Culligan with your family’s drinking water.
If you’re not sure if you should get your water tested, here are a few red flags:
- Appearance – Water has a brown or red tint or has started staining sinks and fixtures.
- Odor – Water smells dirty, metallic, or has any noticeable odor.
- Taste – Water tastes metallic, dirty, or “off” in any way.
If you have any questions or want to learn more about why lead leaches into water, its health effects, or how to treat it, we’re happy to discuss this with you.
To learn more about lead and to have your water tested, contact us today.

We've had multiple problems with milans nasty well water for years but, thanks to Dell, zeek and Cody at Culligan, I finally have perfect water! No smell, no taste and my tubs and toilets no longer turn orange. Any time i need to schedule a service call or need peroxide, its one phone call away with no hassle. They usually deliver the same day. 6 year customer. (One happy customer!!!!!) Highly recommended culligan and their peroxide system.

Very friendly staff. Easy to work with. Very reliable. I have delivery service and have not had any issues with Culligan of Ida. They even make sure to place the bottles by my side door where it is easier to get them into the house. I would recommend them to anyone looking for water delivery or pick up.
