How do I know if my water is travelling through lead pipes?
If you've recently discovered lead water pipes in your home or are considering purchasing a property with existing lead pipes, you may be concerned about the potential health risks for you and your family. According to the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 homes in the Halifax area still have lead water pipes in their main supply line. Addressing this issue promptly is crucial for ensuring safe and clean drinking water. Whether you're upgrading your water line or planning exterior improvements, working with experienced professionals, including trusted paving companies in Halifax, can help enhance your property’s safety and functionality.
Lead water pipes were extremely common in Nova Scotia in houses and businesses built before 1950, with a higher incidence of lead in outdoor water supply lines in certain neighborhoods in the Halifax peninsula and central Dartmouth. Water line replacements in areas like Halifax, Bedford, and Dartmouth have been very common in recent years, and paving companies in Halifax often work alongside water replacement efforts to ensure proper infrastructure and seamless project coordination.
