I've been hearing about the dangers of lead in drinking water. Is that something I need to worry about?

Lead is a toxic metal that can cause health problems if consumed at high levels. It has been linked to a variety of adverse health effects, including neurological and developmental problems in children. In recent years there have been efforts to reduce lead exposure through public education, regulation, and monitoring. However, it's important to note that even low levels of lead exposure may still be harmful. You should check with your local government for more information on lead levels in your area.
