| Lead- Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community and as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home's water due to plumbing and/or fixtures, you may wish to have your water tested. It is highly recommended that you flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water to reduce lead content.
