What to do in your house
Test your own tap with a certified lab first-draw sample; Uncasville, CT may offer free or low-cost kits through the utility. If your own line is lead, replacing the private side runs about $1,200-$12,300 (EPA average about $4,700). Ask Freedom Village Elderly Housing whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.
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. Why sampled homes are the worst-case ones is in the guide to reading the number. This system is in the band the 2027 10 ppb rule changes.
