I would like to get my water analyzed to make sure it's ok to drink as
there was recently a problem with it.I'd like to try testing it myself
but I know I need a special kit. Does anyone know how or where I could
get one of these kits?

Try your county services they might do it for free or a small handling
charge.

Thanks, but I want to avoid having it done by any county service. My
local county government cannot be trusted which is why I'd rather test
the water myself.

Menard's carries home water test kits. There are separate test kits
for lead, bacteria, pesticides, etc. They run about 10 bucks each.
