What to do in your house
Look up your address in Dakota Ridge Hoa'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 Dakota Ridge Hoa whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do. Its latest copper 90th percentile is 1600 ppb (copper action level 1,300 ppb).
These figures describe homes the utility sampled, not your tap. Only your service line record or a test of your own water answers the question for your house. The lead result guide covers how utilities pick the homes they sample. Small systems behave differently: why small systems go over more often.
