What You Can Do Right Now

1. Run your water.

  • 30 seconds–2 minutes if you don’t have a lead service line.

  • 5 minutes if you do have a lead service line.

2. Use a certified lead-reducing filter.
Look for NSF/ANSI 53 (lead reduction) and NSF/ANSI 42 (particulate reduction).

3. Use cold water for drinking and cooking.
Hot water increases lead release.

4. Use filtered or bottled water for baby formula.

5. Clean your faucet aerators regularly.

Free Testing Available

Inkster is offering free lead testing for homes with a lead service line and routine sampling throughout 2026.
Call 313-563-9774 to schedule.
