lead service lines

Lead service lines are pipes that connect homes to the public water supply, made from or containing lead. Over time, lead can leach into the water, potentially causing health issues, especially for children and pregnant women. Many cities have been working to replace these old pipes to ensure safer drinking water. If your home has a lead service line, it's important to be aware of potential risks and consider using filters or alternative sources of water until the pipes are replaced. Removing lead service lines helps protect public health and ensures access to clean, safe drinking water.
