Contact your utility about corrosion control
A Lead and Copper Rule treatment technique violation is open
A Lead and Copper Rule treatment technique violation means required corrosion control steps weren't followed. Corrosion control is what prevents lead and copper from leaching from pipes into tap water. This is worth taking seriously — contact your utility for details on their corrosion control program.

Check your home's pipes
Lead risk depends on your home, not just the water system
The concern isn't usually the treatment plant — it's pipes inside older homes. No level is considered safe for children under 6.
Should I be worried?
Not necessarily — but if your home was built before 1986, it's worth checking whether you have lead pipes or solder. Run cold water 30 seconds before drinking in the morning.
