CONSUMER INFORMATION
Faucets made of leaded brass alloys may contribute small amounts of lead to water that is
allowed to stand in contact with the brass. The amount of lead contributed by any faucet is
highest when the faucet is new. The following steps may reduce potential exposure to lead from
faucets and other parts of the plumbing system:
• Always run the water for a few seconds prior to use for drinking or cooking
• Use only cold water for drinking or cooking
• If you wish to flush the entire plumbing system of water that has been standing in the pipes
or other fittings, run the cold water until the temperature of the water drops, indicating water
obtained

coming from the outside main
• If you are concerned about lead in your water, have your water tested by a certified
laboratory in your area
