Key Contaminants Detected in Moultrie
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Moultrie's Housing Stock?
With 49% 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 Moultrie deserve a closer look; the median build year is 1985.
Most homes in Moultrie 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 Moultrie
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.
Households with young children in Moultrie have two area numbers to weigh. One is the mean of 90th-percentile lead values reported for local ZIP codes, which is at or above 0.010 mg/L; the other is the 49% share of housing that dates from before 1986. Neither describes one home, and sending a tap sample to an accredited laboratory is how a family measures its own lead level.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Moultrie
Historical NFIP data for Moultrie contains 57 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $22,546.
