Key Contaminants Detected in Friant
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Friant'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
Construction dates in Friant center on a median of 2006, and the Census figures behind it describe when homes were built, not what materials they contain.
Most homes in Friant were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Protecting Children from Lead in Friant
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
For families with young children in Friant, two area figures are available: pre-1986 construction at about 19%, and a mean of the ZIP codes' 90th-percentile lead results under 0.010 mg/L. Testing water from the tap a child drinks from gives a home-specific result.
