What's in Grapeview's Water?
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
Grapeview Infrastructure Age
With 44% 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
Over the decades, Grapeview accumulated housing from multiple construction periods. The median build year of 1998 can be read against 1986, when lead solder in plumbing became federally prohibited - a regulatory line, not a safety line, and individual homes on either side of it can have different plumbing.
Most homes in Grapeview were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Grapeview: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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.
