Information about our search for lead pigtails
Water quality has been in the national spotlight this year following news that residents of Flint, Mich., had been exposed to high levels of lead in their drinking water. Unlike in Flint, lead service lines were not used extensively within Medford’s distribution system and Medford Water Commission’s system fully complies with state and federal rules regarding testing for lead. However, short lead pipes known as “pigtails” exist within our system. It has been our longstanding policy to remove these lead pigtails as they were found, and in June 2016, MWC launched an extensive effort to track down and remove any lead lines that remain within our system.
