What's in Aledo's Water?
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
Aledo Infrastructure Age
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
Although a small portion of Aledo's homes predate 1986, the median build year of 2004 indicates the majority of the city's residential plumbing was installed after lead solder was banned - which tends to reduce the plumbing-related component of lead exposure at the household level.
Most homes in Aledo were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

How Remediation Costs Compare in Aledo
In Aledo, property wealth outpaces what documented remediation typically demands - the equity burden lands well within the low tier.
Remediation costs in Aledo are relatively low compared to home values. The $1,350–$3,200 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 100% above the Texas average.
Aledo: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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.
Whenever aggregate samples pass the federal action benchmark and pre-rule housing - 18% in Aledo - represents a smaller fraction, lead occupies a lower priority on the local picture.

Aledo: NFIP Claim Records and Water-Quality Context
Historical NFIP data for Aledo contains 12 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $18,473. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 0% 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>$2,100</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.
