How were the sample sites for Southlake testing selected?

Following the U.S. EPA protocol of attempting to determine the worst case scenario for lead or copper testing, the plumbing of Southlake customer’s homes was researched through plumbing permits and building records of homes to identify lead and copper used in building materials. Selecting homes with this criteria allows Southlake to sample for the worst case scenario.
