Why Replacing Your Lead Line is Crucial
Lead is a toxic metal that has no safe level of exposure. When it leaches from your pipes into your drinking water, it becomes a silent health hazard, especially dangerous for children and pregnant women. Even low levels of lead can cause serious and irreversible problems.
For children, lead exposure can interfere with brain development, leading to learning difficulties, behavioral issues, and slowed growth. For adults, it can contribute to high blood pressure, kidney problems, and memory loss. The risk is particularly high because lead builds up in the body over time; every glass of water from a lead line adds to the problem.
The good news? This risk is entirely preventable. Removing the source—your lead service line—is the only permanent solution to ensure your water is safe for drinking, cooking, and bathing. It’s a critical step in protecting your family’s long-term health and well-being.
