Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.

Housing Age Profile

Housing age matters for water quality because lead solder was widely used in plumbing until the 1986 federal ban. Lehi's median build year of 2004 suggests a majority of homes were constructed under the newer standard — a meaningful factor when assessing household-level lead risk from tap water.

Pre-1970 (Lead Pipes Risk)
Pre-1970 (6%) 1970–1986 (7%) Post-1986 (87%)

Most homes in Lehi were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lehi: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations

Homes Built Before 1986
0.003
mg/L Avg Lead (Limit: 0.015)

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.

Locally, Lehi's indicators line up: aggregate readings pass under the regulatory benchmark and the pre-rule housing footprint at 13% keeps lead in a background position.

How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies.

Flood damage can add significantly to the estimated <strong>$1,600</strong> remediation cost per household.

Residents in flood-prone areas should consider flood insurance even outside FEMA zones — over 25% of flood claims come from low-to-moderate risk areas. After any flood event, test your water before drinking.
