Key Contaminants Detected in Mounds
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Mounds's Housing Stock?
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Prohibited from residential plumbing since 1986, lead solder divides Mounds's housing stock along a timeline that the median build year of 1994 straddles. A meaningful share of homes predates the ban - a configuration that places moderate aggregate pressure on plumbing-related lead risk, distributed unevenly across neighborhoods.
Most homes in Mounds were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Mounds: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Homeowners in Mounds are working with a moderate equity share for documented remediation - the commitment deserves a line in the household budget, not dismissal.
Remediation costs are moderate relative to home values in Mounds. The estimated $1,800–$4,800 range is manageable for most homeowners but still worth budgeting for. Home values are 42% above the Oklahoma average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Mounds
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.
Before the federal solder ban, lead solder was a routine plumbing material, and 32% of the Mounds inventory was built in that earlier era - a share large enough to move household-level reads onto the standard list.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Mounds
Historical NFIP data for Mounds contains 38 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $29,590. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 100% have an A- or V-family dominant rated zone recorded in those historical claims. This is not a complete current FEMA property-map inventory.
How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies. Even after floodwaters recede, contamination can persist in wells and aging infrastructure. The <strong>$2,900</strong> remediation estimate shown here excludes flood insurance and is not derived from NFIP claim count.
Claim count does not establish current property risk. Check the exact address in FEMA's current map and obtain a property-specific insurance quote when relevant.
