What to do in your house
Look up your address in Bahia Oaks (Consec.)'s service line inventory. If it says lead, galvanized or unknown, test your tap. If your own line is lead, replacing the private side runs about $1,200-$12,300 (EPA average about $4,700). Ask Bahia Oaks (Consec.) whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.

Why sampled homes are the worst-case ones is in the guide to reading the number. A zero today does not rule out a jump later - the rules are tightening in 2027.
