Key Contaminants Detected in Canon
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Canon's Housing Stock?
With 47% 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
Homes on the same street in Canon can differ: one may keep original pre-1986 plumbing while another has been replumbed, so the 1982 median is only a starting point.
Most homes in Canon were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Canon: Remediation Cost in Perspective
This comparison puts two area-level numbers next to each other for Canon, the median home value and the estimated cost of remediation, and the second works out to more than 1% but not more than 2% of the first - the moderate tier on this page's three-step scale. Individual properties can differ from that estimate in either direction.
Estimated remediation costs in Canon can be compared with local home values. The estimated $600–$2,300 range is a planning estimate; get a property-specific quote and check it against your budget. Home values are 50% below the Georgia average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Canon
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.
