Lead
Grays Harbor County Public Health & Social Services Department
News reports about high levels of lead in drinking water across the nation are raising questions about the safety of drinking water.
- Community water systems are required to regularly test to ensure the water provided is safe to drink.
- If you have concerns about the safety of your drinking water, you should contact your public utility company.
It is important to understand that water is not a major source of lead exposure. Lead paint, dust, and contaminated soil are usually the most significant sources of lead exposure.
If you're concerned that your child may have been exposed to lead, call:
- your medical provider
