Key Contaminants Detected in Centerville
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Centerville's Housing Stock?
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Whether your home in Centerville was built before or after 1986 matters more than the citywide median of 2007, because the 1986 federal lead restrictions cover plumbing installed after that point.
Most homes in Centerville were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.
