For comparison, this guy renovated his three-story townhouse and the cost was ~$750k.

Reply to DC Water Test Results Lead Levels? by legalhandcannon

> Searching the Internet had told us we are either fine or going to die.

Doing some quick math, if you’re starting at 0 μg/dl of lead in your blood, then at 0.5ppb you’d need to drink about 70 gallons of that water to get up to the CDC reference level of 3.5 μg/dl. This is assuming that all of that lead is absorbed into your bloodstream and your body isn’t clearing out the lead.

I think you’ll be okay. You can get your blood lead levels checked fairly cheaply if you’re concerned.

I think the problem is how it’s displayed on the map. The way to do it is to just have the zone number next to the name of each station. That’s how people will actually use it.

For example, you need to go from Metro Center to Landover, you look at the numbers next to Metro Center and Landover and easily determine what 3 - 1 is.
