Lead can get into water as it passes through plumbing and/or faucets and fixtures that contain lead.

Faucets & Fixtures: Those installed before 2014 do not meet today’s requirements for “lead-free.”

Copper Pipe with Lead Solder: Before 1987, copper pipes were usually connected with solder that contained lead.

Galvanized Plumbing: Galvanized pipes within the home/business can capture lead released from sources such as lead solder or a Lead service line.

Lead Paint: If your home/business was built before 1978, you may want to get the paint tested for lead.
