Timnath: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations

7%
Homes Built Before 1986
0.0058
mg/L Avg Lead (Limit: 0.015)

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.

Since the federal solder ban took effect, new plumbing has been built without that pathway, and Timnath's pre-rule stock at 7% reflects a contained footprint.

How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies.
