Lead in water - who to contact?
7/27/2019 at 2:10 PM
We live in an older house in an older area of the city so we have lead problems in our water. I’m looking for information about lead in water, who can we contact regarding it and find out if something will ever be done to fix it.
The pipes on our property have already been switched out so they do not contain lead. However, we were told the problem lies within the city pipes that connect to ours. The water tests still show high amounts of lead.
We purchase jugs of water for drinking and cooking. But I’m wondering how safe is it in terms of bathing, washing dishes, or even laundry? We have a 10 month old now as well, how safe is it for baby?
Who are we able to contact to discuss all of our questions? Is there a reliable online source of information we can read up as well?
Thanks in advance.
