What are the lead levels in Edmonton’s drinking water supply?
The lead concentration in Edmonton’s water supply and in our distribution system is usually non-detectable (below 0.2 parts per billion). In a few homes, lead can enter the drinking water as it moves through a lead water pipe or if it comes into contact with lead in solder or in some brass plumbing fittings. Running the tap to flush your water pipe is recommended, especially after periods of non-use.
