Lead and your drinking water: What you need to know
We at Morgantown Utility Board take our public health responsibility extremely seriously. Because of this, we are providing the information below to assist you in making the most educated decision possible as it results to protecting you and your family from lead exposure.
It is important to note that lead exposure isn't solely related to drinking water. There are various other possible environmental exposures that exist. While information on these other sources is included by way of some of the materials below, please understand that MUB staff can only address lead exposure as it relates specifically to our drinking water.
The results from our 2022 sampling for lead are available here and the results for copper are available here. If you have questions or need assistance please let us know via email at mubmail@mub.org or give us a call at 304-292-8443.
