Northeast Ohio winters are known to cause quite a few headaches, including water main breaks. When temperatures drop below freezing and stay there for an extended period of time, customers are likely to see an increase in breaks.
There are also actions that our customers can take to reduce the risk of exposure if lead is found in service lines, plumbing, or fixtures. Taking these steps will ensure the highest quality drinking water comes out of your tap.
Like many older water systems, some homes and businesses in the Cleveland Water system may have lead service lines or plumbing components. To know the potential for lead in your home’s plumbing system, follow these steps.
In addition to our water treatment techniques, we also implement several engineering practices to reduce the potential for exposure to lead in drinking water.
Cleveland Water’s Lead Compliance Monitoring results show that the drinking water we deliver continues to be safe from lead even in homes that have lead in plumbing.
Cleveland Water has been regularly monitoring lead levels at customers’ taps since 1992 in compliance with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and Ohio's Lead and Copper Rules.
We take the risks associated with lead in drinking water seriously. That's why we've optimized our water treatment process to help protect our customers from the risks associated with lead plumbing found in some homes.
