mg/L average of reported water-system 90th-percentile lead results (the 0.015 action level applies to each system's result, not to this average)

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.

Averaged across Spring Creek ZIP codes, the 90th-percentile lead results reported by water systems come to less than 10 parts per billion. That is an area summary rather than a reading from any home, and EPA's health goal for lead in drinking water is zero; about 23% of local housing predates 1986.
