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

How Remediation Costs Compare in Saratoga Springs

Remediation costs in Saratoga Springs are relatively low compared to home values. The $0–$800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 45% above the Utah average.
Saratoga Springs: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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.
Whenever aggregate samples pass the federal action benchmark and pre-rule housing — 1% in Saratoga Springs — represents a smaller fraction, lead occupies a lower priority on the local picture.
