Lead Service Line Inventory

The City of Hayward has developed an inventory of water service lines, detailing whether lines are made of copper, plastic, galvanized steel, or other materials. Using a mix of field inspections, historical record review, and other research methods, staff have determined that most water services are made of either copper or plastic. No lead services were found in the Hayward Water System.

Dental Facilities

Dental amalgam used in dentistry to fill cavities consist of a mixture of metals including mercury. Mercury-containing dental amalgam can find its way into the environment when fillings are placed or removed, and waste amalgam materials enter the wastewater system.
