Lead, a metal found in natural deposits, is not infrequently found in household plumbing materials and water service lines.  Is there lead in my drinking water and how can we reduce lead in the drinking water? For more information, please visit US EPA. 
 

Lead is present in tap water to some extent as a result of its dissolution from natural sources, but primarily from household plumbing systems in which the pipes, solder, fittings or service connections to homes contain lead. Details on human exposure, metabolisms, health effects and practical considerations have been described in WHO.
