A typical household running the water for 5 minutes, 3 times a day, would spend less than $2.00 per month. Unsolicited Water Testing Water sample bottles being delivered to doorsteps in Hamilton, requesting that the bottle be filled with tap water to be picked up for testing are not from the City of Hamilton and are not tested by the City of Hamilton laboratory.
