Housing Age Profile

The year 1986 marks a critical threshold in residential plumbing safety: that's when the federal government banned lead solder from new construction, closing a major pathway for lead entering household drinking water via pipe joints. Mount Royal's median build year of 2006 signals that most of the city's housing was built under the newer standard. The distribution above tells the full story - the post-1986 majority lowers aggregate risk, but the pre-1986 share still deserves scrutiny from anyone living in or purchasing an older home.

Most homes in Mount Royal were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

mg/L Avg Lead (Limit: 0.015)

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.

Reading aggregate data alone gives a clean picture for Mount Royal - system samples below the federal action mark and 24% pre-rule housing - yet that math averages many service connections. A one-tap draw gives the only direct read for a specific home.
