Why is lead service line replacement important?

Even if your community has a water system with effective corrosion control and low drinking water lead levels, LSLs, the final link in the water infrastructure network that delivers water to your home, can contribute unpredictable and variable sources of exposure. For homes with LSLs, the service line typically contributes the greatest percentage of lead to the tap. With the reduction of lead in new plumbing material, the next large opportunity for reducing the risk of exposure to lead in drinking water is the removal of LSLs.

​Why is lead a problem?
Young children, infants, and fetuses are particularly vulnerable to lead. A dose of lead that would have little effect on an adult can have a significant effect on a child. 
​
How does lead get into drinking water?
Lead can enter drinking water when pipes and plumbing fixtures that contain lead corrode, especially where the water has high acidity or low mineral content. 
​
What is full LSL replacement?

Full LSL replacement is eliminating all lead pipe from a water main up to the interior plumbing of an individual home and installing new pipe that is lead-free.
