Testing Labs
There are numerous professional water testing labs in the country.

locally, check your nearest metropolitan phone book, or do a search online.
Labs can test for anything you want to know about, and the list of things
to test for is immense. If you do not specifically request certain
items to be tested for, most labs offer a package of the most commonly
requested water conditions, and have set fees for items tested. Usually
the results will be mailed to you when completed.
