Table 2.

Change in water lead levels (WLLs) after flushing (vs. FD WLLs) (ppb).

Samples a N Median (25%, 75%) Mean ± SD Min Max 90th Percentile p-Value b
F30S vs. FD 374 0 (−0.4, 0.6) 0.6 ± 4.2 −9.4 50.2 1.7 0.040
F3M vs. FD 372 0 (−0.5, 0.6) 0.2 ± 2.1 −12.5 15.4 2.1 0.219
F6M vs. FD 218 0 (−0.6, 0) −0.2 ± 1.4 −5.8 7.5 0.7 <0.001
FDH vs. FD 155 −0.1 (−0.9, 0) −0.4 ± 2.4 −12.9 12.1 0.7 <0.001

a FD: first draw cold sample; F30S: flushing cold water for 30–45 s; F3M: flushing cold water for 2.5–3 min; F6M: flushing cold water for 5.5–6 min; FDH: first draw hot sample; b Compare with FD based on the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
