How can I tell if I have lead in my water?

Your local public water supply is required to test for lead on a regular basis.  You can call them or ask for the latest issue of their Consumer Confidence Report (this will list all the constituents the supplier must test for and whether or not any contaminants were found).  If you live in an older house, one which may have lead pipes or lead based solder call our lab for specific instructions and special sample bottles to have a sample analyzed.
