What this violation means

Copper enters drinking water through corroded copper pipes, especially in newer homes with acidic water that hasn't yet developed a protective mineral coating inside the plumbing. Short-term exposure causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Long-term exposure can damage the liver and kidneys.

Recommended precautions

→Run the tap for 30 seconds before using water that has been sitting in pipes.
→Test your water if you notice a metallic taste or blue-green staining on fixtures.
→Reverse osmosis effectively removes copper.
→Adjusting plumbing pH (corrosion control) is typically a utility-level fix.
