Lead can pose serious health risks when it enters drinking water, especially for vulnerable populations such as infants, young children, and pregnant individuals. Even low levels of exposure can cause long-term health impacts. The City of Brigantine is committed to keeping residents informed about these risks and reducing exposure wherever possible through its Lead Service Line Replacement Program.
Lead presents health concerns for people of all ages, but particularly pregnant people, infants, and young children. If consumers live in homes or communities where lead is in contact with drinking water, they may be at risk of exposure.
