Lead in water supplies has been a concern in the U.S. since the 1970s, when its health risks became widely recognized. Although lead was banned from water plumbing materials in 1986, many older pipes and service lines still contain it, creating potential risks. Drinking water in New Hampshire is generally thought to be a smaller source of lead exposure, but this can vary among homes, schools and other buildings. While public water systems are regularly tested for contaminants, private plumbing issues, such as aging or corroded pipes, can still affect water quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Health Effects of Lead Exposure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lead contamination often occurs when water sits stagnant in leaded pipes or when older fixtures corrode. The impact of lead exposure is dangerous for all ages, but it\u2019s especially harmful to young children under six.<\/p>\n\n\n
