Is Copper in My Water Harmful?
Small amounts of copper are necessary for good health but too much is harmful. Higher levels cause an upset stomach and diarrhea. Long-term exposure to copper in water can cause anemia, liver damage or kidney disease. If you discover that you have copper in your water, it might also mean that your water is too corrosive and so copper is being leached from plumbing pipes.
