Key Contaminants Detected in Yucca
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Yucca'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
For most of Yucca's housing stock, construction occurred after 1986 — when lead solder in plumbing was federally prohibited. The median build year of 2008 broadly reflects that newer profile.
Most homes in Yucca were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Yucca: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Low proportionality — that's the Yucca picture when remediation costs are placed against typical home equity.
Remediation costs in Yucca are relatively low compared to home values. The $150–$1,400 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 9% below the Arizona average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Yucca
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. Yucca 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.
