Housing Age Profile
If you live in one of the pre-1986 homes in Astoria, a certified lab test for lead is the direct way to learn what your tap delivers; the median build year of 1900 is only context.
Over half of homes in Astoria 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 Astoria
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 Astoria ZIP codes, 0.010 mg/L or more, is a reason to check at home, particularly in the 90% of housing built before 1986.
