Housing & Infrastructure in Lamont
With 79% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.

Housing Age Profile
Heavily weighted toward older construction, Lamont's housing stock carries a median build year of 1976. That profile puts a majority of homes in the era when lead-soldered copper plumbing was standard practice.
Over half of homes in Lamont were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Lamont Homeowners
Across Lamont, the equity share taken up by estimated remediation is small — a favorable ratio for most property owners.
Remediation costs in Lamont are relatively low compared to home values. The $150–$600 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 55% below the Oklahoma average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Lamont
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.
After the federal action removing lead-bearing solder from new plumbing took effect, building practice shifted — but 79% of the Lamont inventory predates that line. With aggregate samples near or beyond 0.015 mg/L, an in-home check moves out of the optional column into the standard list.
