With 83% 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
Ask the water utility whether your address in Hitchcock has a lead service line; its inventory can answer what a median build year of 1978 cannot.
Over half of homes in Hitchcock were built before 1986, when federal law began restricting lead solder in drinking-water plumbing. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Protecting Children from Lead in Hitchcock
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.
Even though compliance with the federal lead action level is judged on each system's own 90th percentile, the average of those results across Hitchcock ZIP codes, 0.010 mg/L or more, is a reason to check at home, particularly in the 83% of housing built before 1986.
