That page doesn't print the year of its table, so confirm the amounts at the counter. No pipes in Vallejo's distribution system contain lead, the Water Department's FAQ says. Three FEMA flood zones, A, AE and VE, meet the city's edge, listed for touching it even if one holds little ground. Only Moderate fire zones touch Vallejo on either CAL FIRE map, and the local one, dated March 24, 2025, is a recommendation Vallejo can adopt or modify.
Half the houses here were built by 1975, three years ahead of 1978, the cutoff in EPA's lead paint rule. Anyone you pay to work on painted surfaces in a pre-1978 house has to be certified, with employees trained. A homeowner doing the work on a home they live in isn't covered, unless it's rented out, used for childcare or being flipped. Call 1-800-424-5323 for EPA's lead center.
