Is There Lead in My Water?
There is no detectable lead in BWL drinking water when it leaves our conditioning plants. However, since water is naturally corrosive, small amounts of lead can dissolve into your drinking water if
your water sits for several hours in contact with household plumbing fixtures, solder or faucets. The corrosion control additive the BWL uses creates a protective coating to reduce or eliminate the risk of exposure, but the EPA recommends additional steps you can take.
Arrangements can be made for water testing through the Ingham County Health Department at 517- 887-4312 and each test costs about $20.
