Here in MO, we can take/send a sample to the county ag agent for testing. You need to take multiple samples in the area of concern, and mix them together to get a representative sample. There are swimming pool test kits that can ballpark the pH of water. But if you're using city water, the city is supposed to publish an annual report with test results, that is either mailed with your water bill or posted online.
