What do I do if I see my property has been identified as “Lead”?
1. You can request to have your water sampled by Buffalo Water by calling 311. This is a good way to check for lead in your water.
2. You can volunteer to participate in Buffalo Water’s compliance sampling pool so they will test your water quality on an ongoing basis along with other residents across the City. Volunteer by calling 311.
