Many UK homes — particularly those built before the 1970s — may still be connected to old lead water pipes, often without homeowners realising the associated health risks.
#LeadFreeWater was created to raise awareness of this often-overlooked issue and help homeowners understand whether lead pipes may still be supplying their property, as well as the practical steps available to remove them.
All free surveys are carried out by the team at Kurek Utilities & Construction, the local utilities company sponsoring the campaign.

Lead-free water matters for every stage of life
Healthy pregnancies & thriving families
A baby’s development begins long before birth - and as lead can cross the placenta, exposure can begin before a child is born.
Replacing old lead pipes isn’t just a home improvement; it’s a choice to protect the earliest stages of life.
Growing minds deserve the best start
Even tiny traces of lead can lower a child’s IQ and affect their ability to concentrate.
Lead-free water is the foundation for healthy brain development and learning, giving children the chance to thrive, grow, and reach their full potential.
Stronger health in later life
Lead builds up in the body over time, in older adults this can lead to higher blood pressure and added strain on the heart - at a stage of life where maintaining good health matters more than ever.
Lead-free water lifts that burden and helps to protect the health of every generation under your roof.
