Question

Is lead or copper a problem in the city's water supply?

Answer

No! Most of this problem is found in the customer owned pipes and service lines where solder or lead pipes were used. Fortunately, the harder water in this area creates a calcium carbonate coating in the service lines. This buildup, known as scaling, is essentially a barrier preventing lead from leaching into the water. The Plymouth Water Department is in complete compliance with the strict regulations of the EPA's mandated lead and copper rule. Our water has been given the highest quality lead and copper rating. The results can be viewed on the 2018 Consumer Confidence Report sent to you upon request.
