Key Contaminants Detected in Olga
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Olga's Housing Stock?
With 48% 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
Check your utility's service line inventory as well as your home's build year; in Olga, where the median build year is 1983, both pieces help.
Most homes in Olga were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Olga: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Estimated remediation for Olga is a small fraction of median property value - one percent or less - though the ratio does not describe any single household.
Estimated remediation costs in Olga 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 76% above the Washington average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Olga
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.
