How Old Is Pomfret Center's Housing Stock?
With 48% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. Federal law banned lead solder in drinking-water plumbing in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Lead solder was allowed in new plumbing until the 1986 federal restrictions, which is why older homes in Pomfret Center deserve a closer look; the median build year is 1982.
A significant portion of Pomfret Center's housing stock predates 1970, so some homes may have older plumbing materials. Residents in older homes should consider water testing.

Protecting Children from Lead in Pomfret Center
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.
If you have young children or are pregnant, consider testing your home's water - especially if your home was built before 1986.
