What's in Fall River's Water?
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
Fall River Infrastructure Age
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.

Housing Age Profile
A citywide median of 1981 for construction says little about any single address in Fall River. Homes built before 1986, when federal amendments restricted the lead content allowed in new pipe, solder and flux, may contain plumbing materials with more lead, and later renovations may have replaced them. An inspection of the plumbing can identify the materials, and sending a tap water sample to an accredited laboratory measures lead.
A significant portion of Fall River's housing stock predates 1970, so some homes may have older plumbing materials. Residents in older homes should consider water testing.

Fall River: 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.
