CONSUMER INFORMATION

Faucets made of leaded brass alloys may contribute small amounts of lead to
water that is allowed to stand in contact with the brass. The amount of lead
contributed by any faucet is highest when the faucet is new. The following steps
may reduce potential exposure to lead from faucets and other parts of the
plumbing system:
• Always run the water for a few seconds prior to use for drinking or cooking
• Use only cold water for drinking or cooking
• If you wish to flush the entire plumbing system of water that has been standing
in the pipes or other fittings, run the cold water until the temperature of the
water drops, indicating water coming from the outside main
• If you are concerned about lead in your water, have your water tested by a
certified laboratory in your area
