By George Anderson, Thu Dec 8th
Although most modern homes have lead free plumbing installation,there are still millions of houses that have older plumbing andthus increase the chances of higher lead levels in water. In thelast two decades, measures taken in accordance with the SafeDrinking Water Act have greatly diminished lead presence indrinking water. However, some metal water taps, pipes connectinghomes to the main street pipe or interior water pipes mightstill produce such problems. Water that stays in pipes forseveral hours can get contaminated with lead resulting fromcorrosion of the pipe itself or of the soldering.

where such information is usually posted. The level of risk of drinking water high in lead levels is nothigh for most people, but it is a factor worth looking at.Elevated lead levels in your blood may lead to severalcomplications, even in a healthy adult. Sick persons and thosethat are weaker due to age or other conditions may experiencebigger problems when drinking lead contaminated water. Infantsare at the highest risk, as their small body size might beaffected by consuming water with high lead levels. TheEnvironmental Protection Agency declared a level of 15 parts perbillion (ppb) as the high limit of lead concentration indrinking water.
If you want to make sure that your water is risk free ask yourlocal provider if the ppb level is below 15. If they answer yes,then you can safely drink water without any fear of increasedlead levels. However, if they give you a negative answer, youshould ask if the street service pipe has lead in it. If theysay that the street pipe is lead free, than your problems mightbe coming from the pipes in your home. In order to get rid ofwater with excess lead, try to let cold water run for a fewminutes. This ensures that water that has been sitting in pipeswill be flushed out. Even if the water street pipe containslead, the same procedure can be applied. You should always usewater for drinking or cooking if it comes form the cold tap, notthe hot one. Filtration systems applied directly on tap mightalso greatly reduce lead levels in the water that comes throughyour pipes.
