Pipes may be considered substandard if they are leaking or broken, deemed too small, servicing more than one home (also called ‘double-service’), or made of lead or galvanized steel.

If the City’s portion of the pipe is found to be made of lead, the City will alert the homeowner through a series of notices prior to replacement.

Homeowners are responsible for the private portion of the pipe that runs from their property line into their home, and are strongly encouraged to replace their side too, in order to reduce health effects from exposure to lead in drinking water. Ask the professionals at Pro Flow Drain Specialists for more details.

When it comes to lead, there is no safe level. Lead is harmful to the human body. It is no secret that there is a legal limit of lead in all of our drinking water. Water treatment plants remove as much as possible but  we can try to eliminate the amount of lead added to our drinking water by the time it reaches our taps.
