  Depending on the state, some agencies will test drinking water samples for a small fee that is much less than $200. In Michigan, the department of health did it for me. This is likely hard water. And if it’s from a well, it should be tested every so often anyways.

    I’m presuming it’s well water because city water wouldn’t do that unless there was a major, widespread problem.

    $200 is for the full array of tests. VOCs, heavy metals, bacteria. Good to get the full testing done at least once.
