⚠️ Lead in Dublin Tap Water: What Every Homeowner Needs to Know
Lead contamination in drinking water is a serious health concern in many parts of Dublin, particularly in homes built before the 1980s. These homes often contain lead service pipes, which can leach harmful lead particles into your tap water – especially after long periods of stagnation or during pipe disturbances.
At EcoFilter Ireland, we’re helping families across Dublin identify the risks and install certified filtration solutions that remove lead and other heavy metals from their drinking water.
