Immediate Steps

  1. Stop Using Tap Water for Drinking or Cooking
    Use bottled water or water from a certified filter (look for NSF/ANSI standard 53 or 58 for lead removal).

  2. Use Cold Water Only for Cooking & Drinking
    Hot water dissolves lead more easily. Even for boiling, start with cold filtered or bottled water.

  3. Flush the Pipes
    If you must use tap water, run it for several minutes before use—especially in the morning or after periods of non-use.

 

Medium-Term Actions

  1. Install a Certified Water Filter
    Use a pitcher or under-sink filter certified for lead removal. Change filters regularly.

  2. Test All Faucets
    Lead might only be present at certain fixtures. Test water from each tap you drink or cook from.

  3. Notify Your Local Water Utility
    They may offer free testing, inspections, or financial assistance for pipe replacement.

 

Long-Term Solutions

  1. Inspect Plumbing for Lead Pipes or Solder
    Hire a licensed plumber to check your service line and in-home plumbing. Replace lead pipes and solder wherever found.

  2. Consider a Whole-Home Filtration System
    Especially if you’re on well water or have widespread contamination.

  3. Inform Your Doctor
    Especially if young children, pregnant women, or immunocompromised individuals have been exposed. A blood lead test might be recommended.
