I've been hearing a lot about the dangers of lead in drinking water. Is this something that I should be concerned about?

Yes, it is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with lead exposure. Lead can cause health problems such as high blood pressure, kidney damage, and neurological issues. It is best to reduce your risk by using only filtered or bottled water for drinking and cooking. You can also test your home's water for lead levels at your local water utility.
