Housing Age Profile
Lead solder was federally prohibited in new plumbing in 1986. In Lillian, the median build year of 1995 puts a majority of homes in the lower-risk category for that specific contamination pathway - though the pre-1986 share shown above still carries real exposure potential at the individual household level.
Most homes in Lillian were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Lillian
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.
Lead risk in Lillian appears low overall, but individual homes may differ. Testing is the only way to confirm your water's lead content.
