Radon Conditions in Old Town
Old Town's older neighborhoods near the downtown core and the Penobscot River waterfront include many homes built before 1950 with concrete block and poured concrete basements that are common sites for elevated radon. Newer residential developments on the city's outskirts toward Orono and Bradley have slab construction and varying foundation types. The city is on municipal water; private well radon is less of a concern in the city itself but relevant for rural surrounding properties.
