Key Contaminants Detected in Cornish
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Cornish's Housing Stock?
With 66% 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
Lead can reach tap water from service lines, solder and brass fittings inside a building, which is why housing age draws attention in Cornish, where the median build year is 1959.
Over half of homes in Cornish were built before 1986, when federal law began restricting lead solder in drinking-water plumbing. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Cornish: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Of the three cost-context tiers - low, moderate and elevated - Cornish is in the low one.
Estimated remediation costs in Cornish can be compared with local home values. The $150–$600 estimated range can be set against the median property value; actual costs vary by home. Home values are 29% below the Utah average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Cornish
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.
