Dangers of Lead in Water
Although the Environmental Protection Agency established a 15 part per billion (ppb) ‘action level” for lead in tap water, even small traces of lead in water are dangerous.
The agency says has a “health goal” of zero lead.
Health researchers worry about short-term exposures for lead above five ppb in water.
The metal irreversibly in lead stunts neurological development in children.
Some studies have found that children who were exposed to lead go on to have higher rates of incarceration as adults.
Subsidized Lead Pipe Replacement
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a study in 2010 confirming that the presence of a lead service line presents an added risk of lead exposure through tap water.
Partial Replacement
Involves replacing the portion of the lead service line that is under the city street, and on the ‘public’ side of the property line.
Full Lead Service Line Replacement
Removes the pipe lengths on both the ‘public’ and the ‘private’ sides of the property line, and is really the only reliable way to minimize the risk of leaded water entering the home plumbing system.
