    "A new report on lead contamination of the city's water supply has revealed extremely high levels of lead are present in pipes all over the city. "

    Because of this I would like to test some water for lead and ideally for other pollutants. Is there a lab in Galway that would do it?

    Also, has anyone seen the report which the papers mention? I would really want to know which areas are affected in what way, but the papers only list the worst. I live in Moycullen but apparently out supply is somehow linked to the city (Knocknacarra); a friend lives in Dangan; and perhaps there is something in the report about these areas, whether good or bad?

    Have you looked at the local authorities' websites?
