Housing Age Profile
The median build year for Pool is 2005. A build year alone does not tell you what pipes or solder a home has.
Most homes in Pool were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Pool: 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.
Available area-level lead records for Pool do not determine the lead level at an individual tap. Testing is the only way to confirm your water's lead content.
