There is no lead in the Isle of Palms Water & Sewer Commission's water source, the Charleston Aquifer, or in its drinking water when it leaves the treatment facility and travels through our miles of lead-free pipes. Isle of Palms Water and Sewer Commission is working to identify service line materials throughout the water system and has determined that the water pipe (called a service line) that connects your property to the water main is made from unknown material but may be lead. Because your service line material is unknown, there is the potential that some or all of the service line could be made of lead or galvanized pipe that was previously connected to lead. People living in homes with a lead or galvanized pipe previously connected to a lead service line have an increased risk of exposure to lead from their drinking water.
