Lead & Drinking Water

Learn more about lead and drinking water. Lead in drinking water, although rarely the sole cause of lead poisoning, can significantly increase a person's total lead exposure. Lead enters drinking water primarily from the corrosion or wearing away of material containing lead in water service lines and household plumbing.

Elevated lead levels have been detected in homes with lead service lines; see our most recent Notice to Residents on Elevated Lead Levels (PDF).
