Lead is a dangerous compound that can be found in corroded pipes or connected to lead solder, which can be released in the water you are drinking, leading to high lead levels in your bloodstream. This dangerous metal is specifically harmful to children and pregnant women!

Thankfully, the EPA is regulating the water heavily, so if the plumbing in your home has been updated within the past 30 years, then you are safe. If not, then it is best to call your local utility to do a test and make sure you are in the clear.
