How Old Is Luray's Housing Stock?
With 47% 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
When a home in Luray was built matters for lead because federal rules adopted in 1986 limited how much lead new plumbing could contain; the local median build year is 1999. A median sits in the middle of a range, so some homes are older and some newer, and past repairs may have changed the pipes in either group. A plumber can identify the materials inside a home, and a lab test measures what reaches the tap.
A significant portion of Luray's housing stock predates 1970, so some homes may have older plumbing materials. Residents in older homes should consider water testing.

Protecting Children from Lead in Luray
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.
If you have young children or are pregnant, consider testing your home's water - especially if your home was built before 1986.
