Are there are other sources of lead in my water?

Aside from lead water service lines, lead can also enter the water through:

  • Interior lead pipes
  • Interior galvanized pipes (especially if there is or was a lead water service line running to the house)
  • Interior copper pipes with lead soldered joints
  • Interior plumbing fixtures purchased or installed prior to January 2014 before the effective date of the new definition of “lead free”
