Key Contaminants Detected in Cabot
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Cabot's Housing Stock?
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Why does housing age matter for water safety? Homes built before 1986 may have lead-soldered copper plumbing joints - a practice banned that year. Cabot's median build year of 1993 places much of the city's housing in the post-ban era, reducing that specific risk pathway for most residents.
Most homes in Cabot were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cabot: Remediation Cost in Perspective
In Cabot, property values comfortably outpace what documented remediation typically costs - the equity share is proportionally low.
Remediation costs in Cabot are relatively low compared to home values. The $800–$1,800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 51% above the Arkansas average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Cabot
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
Once federal rules removed lead-bearing solder from new plumbing, building practice changed quickly. Cabot now carries just 26% of older inventory from that earlier era. Citywide readings remain compliant, though no system-level number can replace a one-home draw.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Cabot
Historical NFIP data for Cabot contains 37 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $16,135. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 0% have an A- or V-family dominant rated zone recorded in those historical claims. This is not a complete current FEMA property-map inventory.
How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies. Even after floodwaters recede, contamination can persist in wells and aging infrastructure. The <strong>$1,200</strong> remediation estimate shown here excludes flood insurance and is not derived from NFIP claim count.
Claim count does not establish current property risk. Check the exact address in FEMA's current map and obtain a property-specific insurance quote when relevant.
