LEAD IN DRINKING WATER

Lead found in tap water usually comes from the corrosion of older fixtures, from the solder that connects pipes or from old lead pipe service lines running from the water main in your street to your home. Water is known as the ultimate solvent in that it picks up a little of everything it touches as it flows through the ground, pipes, etc.  Also, when water sits in leaded pipes for several hours, lead can leach into the water supply.  Measures taken during the last two decades have greatly reduced exposures to lead in tap water. These measures include actions taken under the requirements of the 1986 and 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (http://www.epa.gov/sdwa) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Lead and Copper Rule (http://www.epa.gov/dwreginfo/).
