Exposure to lead in drinking water can cause: serious health effects in all age groups. Infants and children can have decreases in IQ and attention span. Lead exposure can lead to new learing and behavior problems ore exacerbate existing learning and behavior problems. The children of women who are exposed to lead before or during pregnancy can have increased risk of these adverse health effects. Adults can have increased risks ofh heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney or nervous system problems. 90th Range Sites Lead and Copper Monitoring Period Unit AL Typical Source Percentile (low/high) Over AL COPPER, FREE 2021 2023 0.34 0.0088 - 0.78 ppm 1.3 0 Corrosion of household plumbing LEAD 2021- 2023 0 ppb 15 0 Corrosion ofh household plumbing Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking wateri is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing.
