How to confirm if there is lead in my water?
The only way to test for elevated lead concentrations is at the tap and submitting to a water testing lab for results.
Residents in older homes are encouraged to check their plumbing (see ‘How to tell if you have Lead Pipes’ Section) or contact a licensed plumber for an inspection. If property owner suspects there may be lead in the water, and has expectant mothers or young children in the home, water testing is highly recommended.
