Eden: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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.
Several steps are open to Eden households. Area lead results, averaged by ZIP code, run higher than 0.015 mg/L, while 86% of homes date from before 1986. A certified laboratory test measures lead at the tap, the utility's service line inventory shows how a home's line is classified, and a filter certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for lead reduction can be used for drinking and cooking water while results are pending.
1 ZIP code (100% of the city's ZIP records) is served by a water system whose 90th-percentile lead result exceeds the EPA action level of 0.015 mg/L.
