I don't trust my municipality because they cheaped out on the corrosion inhibitors chemistry, leached lead into the water and my house is now filled with developing pinhole leaks.

You can test the filter manufacturer's water but you can't test the municipality's water?

Strange days indeed.

The probability of getting a positive test for lead given that I already know the city messed up and there's lead in the water is 100%.

So why test?
