The short answer
In Easthampton, 97% of housing was built before 2010. The lead-free rule that took effect on 4 January 2014 governs what may be sold, not what must be removed, so an older faucet is not unlawful - but it decides which replacement parts are.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, table B25034, five-year estimates. A margin of error is published alongside every estimate.
97% of the homes in Easthampton were built before 2010. Until 4 January 2014 a faucet could lawfully contain up to eight percent lead in the surfaces the water touches.
What this site is
FaucetMend is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. We carry out no work, we sell no fixtures, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. Nothing here is a statement about the water at any address; only a test of that water can tell you about it.Easthampton in numbers

What the 2014 rule changed

Repair or replace
A cartridge costs a fraction of a faucet and takes the same visit. Replacement is the answer when the body is pitted, when the finish has failed, or when the parts are no longer made — not simply because the tap is old.
