Lead & Lead Service Lines

Lead is toxic to humans, especially when it contaminates drinking water. While lead has been virtually eliminated from public utility water systems, it can still be found in older home plumbing. The U.S. EPA has declared the elimination of lead in drinking water a national health priority, with a key focus being Lead Service Lines — the pipes that connect homes and businesses to public watermains.

It's important you take a moment to learn about the dangers of lead in drinking water, the likelihood of lead in your plumbing, how to easily test for it in, and how to help us inventory lead risks in your community.
