Lead in Home Plumbing <br /> If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. <br /> Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. <br /> We are responsible for providing high-quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing <br /> components.When your water has been sitting for several hours,you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing <br /> your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking.If you are concerned about lead in your water, <br /> you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to <br /> minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. <br /> Commercial Irrigation Water Conservation Rebate <br /> (f you are a commercial customer, this may be your ticket to saving on water costs.
