Yes. Your skin doesn't absorb lead from water, so showering, bathing and washing dishes and clothes are safe. The risk comes from swallowing it, so don't let babies or children drink the bath water, and use filtered water for drinking, cooking and baby formula. Source: US Environmental Protection Agency.
