Understanding the Dangers of Copper and Lead in Water

Copper and lead contamination in drinking water is a widespread issue due to years of use in construction. Older homes and businesses are particularly at risk. Lead contamination typically results from the corrosion of lead-based solder, fixtures, and pipes in plumbing systems, especially in water with low pH (acidic) or low mineral content. Similarly, copper, often present in older plumbing systems, is also prone to corrosion.

How Are Copper And Lead In Water Regulated?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees copper and lead in drinking water under strict regulations, further complemented by state and local codes.
