Should I be concerned if I find sediment in my tap water?
Hi, I live in Miami and found sediment in our tap water. I'm unsure if this is okay or if I should be phoning the city council to tell them. I would not have known if I didn't happen to leave my glass of water standing on my kitchen counter for about 30min. When I came back, there was this fine layer of what looked like sand on the bottom.Asked 5 months ago

How much lead is considered dangerous in drinking water?
I understand that consuming lead overall is not good for one's health. However, I've heard that despite a city's attempt to purify water, it can still become contaminated through old or corroded pipes used to feed the water to each household. I want to use the lead test on my household water. Any idea what level of level is 'acceptable?'Asked 5 months ago
