While there are no measurable amounts of lead in town water, where it might be found is in the tap water of homes that have lead service pipes or lead fixtures.
The town does not this is rare though, as homes with lead service pipes were largely built in the Second World War era, and when the war ended, copper came largely back into use on homes. They note it’s rare to find a home built after 1950 that has these lead service lines.
