Over half of homes in Blodgett were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Older stock in Blodgett represents 79% of the inventory, and citywide monitoring runs at or above the federal action level — making an in-home read a standard household-level step.

How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies.
