What's in Aviston's Water?
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
Aviston Infrastructure Age
With 46% 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.

Housing Age Profile
A citywide median of 1999 for construction says little about any single address in Aviston. Homes built before 1986, when federal amendments restricted the lead content allowed in new pipe, solder and flux, may contain plumbing materials with more lead, and later renovations may have replaced them. An inspection of the plumbing can identify the materials, and sending a tap water sample to an accredited laboratory measures lead.
A significant portion of Aviston's housing stock predates 1970, so some homes may have older plumbing materials. Residents in older homes should consider water testing.

How Remediation Costs Compare in Aviston
Because the median home value in Aviston is large relative to the estimated cost of remediation, the ratio between them stays at or below 1%; that is a statement about two area-level numbers, not a quote for a particular house or a judgment about what an owner can pay.
Estimated remediation costs in Aviston can be compared with local home values. The $300–$1,500 estimated range can be set against the median property value; actual costs vary by home. Home values are 28% above the Illinois average.
Aviston: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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 Aviston 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 46% 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.
