What to do in your house
Test your own tap with a certified lab first-draw sample; Patton, PA 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 Patton Boro Water Dept whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do. Its latest copper 90th percentile is 2467 ppb (copper action level 1,300 ppb).
