Granville Infrastructure Age
With 82% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.

Housing Age Profile
Lead solder was standard in copper plumbing until federally banned in 1986; lead pipes were common in service lines pre-1970. Granville's median build year of 1951 reflects a housing stock where these older materials are a pervasive feature - not a rare legacy - of the residential plumbing landscape.
Over half of homes in Granville were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

How Remediation Costs Compare in Granville
Because estimated remediation claims a substantial fraction of typical Granville property equity, the household financial perspective here requires serious advance planning - the cost-to-value ratio is in the elevated tier and warrants structured preparation.

Granville: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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.
Even where utility-side monitoring meets Lead and Copper Rule requirements, the 82% pre-rule share in Granville keeps interior-plumbing variation as a household-level question that aggregate data cannot resolve.
