Fairfield City PWS

If present, elevated lead levels can pose serious health risks, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in tap water primarily comes from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Fairfield is committed to providing high-quality municipal water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.

When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for consumption or cooking. If concerned about lead content, consider having your water tested.

Information about lead in water, testing methods, and steps to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or at EPA.gov/safewater/lead.
