Top Contaminants in Bryan Water
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
Housing & Infrastructure in Bryan
With 41% 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
1994 is the median build year in Bryan, and the age breakdown below shows how much of the housing predates 1986.
Most homes in Bryan were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Bryan Homeowners
In Bryan, estimated remediation comes to 1% or less of the median home value.
Estimated remediation costs in Bryan can be compared with local home values. The $300–$800 estimated range can be set against the median property value; actual costs vary by home. Home values are 4% above the Texas average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Bryan
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.
If you have young children or are pregnant, consider testing your home's water - especially if your home was built before 1986.

Historical NFIP Claim Context in Bryan
Historical NFIP data for Bryan contains 341 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $22,358. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 71% 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 $500 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.
