Before it was banned in 1987, lead was commonly used to make plumbing materials such as pipes, solder, and a variety of brass pipes, fixtures, and fittings. Lead from these plumbing materials can enter drinking water because of corrosion or wearing away of the metal. The most significant contributor to lead contamination in drinking water is lead water pipes called service lines that connect homes or buildings to the public water supply.
