Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Thrall's Housing Stock?
With 48% 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.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
When a home in Thrall was built matters for lead because federal rules adopted in 1986 limited how much lead new plumbing could contain; the local median build year is 1982. A median sits in the middle of a range, so some homes are older and some newer, and past repairs may have changed the pipes in either group. A plumber can identify the materials inside a home, and a lab test measures what reaches the tap.
Most homes in Thrall were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Thrall: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Estimated remediation for Thrall is a small fraction of median property value - one percent or less - though the ratio does not describe any single household.
Estimated remediation costs in Thrall can be compared with local home values. The $700–$2,300 estimated range can be set against the median property value; actual costs vary by home. Home values are 38% above the Texas average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Thrall
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.
