Lead Pipe Map

Water systems whose latest lead test exceeded the action level

In EPA's data, the latest 90th-percentile lead result for 496 community water systems was above the 15 ppb action level. 139 of them also reported lead or galvanized service lines. An exceedance triggers public education and corrosion-control steps; it doesn't mean every home is affected.
