Frequently Asked Questions

Is there lead in Pawnee's water? ▼
The reported 90th-percentile lead result is below the laboratory reporting limit, not a measured zero; EPA's health goal for lead is zero. This is at or below the EPA lead action level, which triggers system action and is not a safe level; the EPA health goal for lead is zero.
What is the demographic profile of the ZIP codes associated with Pawnee? ▼
The ZIP codes mapped to Pawnee have a median household income of $50,600 (Census ZIP-code estimate). In CEJST data, 100% of census tracts in the counties mapped to this area are designated disadvantaged (average across mapped ZIP codes), which may indicate greater vulnerability to environmental health risks.
Where does Pawnee get its water? ▼
Pawnee's water is drawn from rivers, lakes, or reservoirs.
