Key Contaminants Detected in Fountain Green
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Fountain Green's Housing Stock?
With 43% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
What does a median build year of 1997 mean for water safety in Fountain Green? It means the housing stock straddles two key plumbing thresholds: the 1986 federal ban on lead solder in copper plumbing, and the pre-1970 era when lead pipes were commonly installed for service lines. A meaningful share of homes predates one or both of those cutoffs, creating varied risk levels across the city's housing inventory.
A significant portion of Fountain Green's housing stock predates 1970, when lead pipes were commonly used. Residents in older homes should consider water testing.

Fountain Green: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Property equity in Fountain Green runs well ahead of estimated remediation costs - a cost-to-value ratio that sits in the low tier, meaning documented water and safety issues here are the kind homeowners can plan to address without treating the expense as a significant budget event relative to what their homes are worth.
Remediation costs in Fountain Green are relatively low compared to home values. The $800–$1,500 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 16% below the Utah average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Fountain Green
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.
Wherever 43% of local housing was built before solder rules changed - as is the case in Fountain Green - a faucet-level sample closes the gap that aggregate utility data cannot.
