In brief:
- Millions of lead pipes are still being used to bring drinking water to individual homes; that poses a health risk, especially to young children
- A new federal rule requires the replacement of all lead service lines within 10 years
- Cincinnati has a head start on that requirement, but it will still be tough to meet the deadline
- Even if you have lead service lines, your water is likely safe to drink thanks to treatment practices reduce the risk of lead getting into the water
