Figured I would pass this around as we found it stuck in with our junk mail today.I guess after having these houses paid off for an eon,they can't afford to remove the lead pipes.
ATTN DND HOUSING RESIDENTS
This is a reminder to occupants of DND residential Housing that it is recommended to run your tap water for at least 20 mintues if your home has been unoccupied for more than two days.Health canada recommends this for any older housing units that have been constructed with lead pipes.
These measures are in accordance with Health Canada's recommendations to minimize lead exposure from drinking water.
In general it is standard practice for older housing units with lead solder piping to run their water for several minutes prior to first use each day.
This will clear the water that has been standing overnight in your plumbing system.
For further information about lead in drinking water visit the Health Canada website.
