The starting line
Where each city stands today
All four cities average above the EPA action level of 4.0 picocuries per liter. All four cities have most of their homes still untested.

Only 1 in 10 homes has ever tested for radon.
Herriman
Highest average radon level in the challenge, tied with Riverton.
Riverton
Already Utah's testing leader.
South Jordan
Largest city in the challenge, biggest head start.
Radon data from Alpha Energy Laboratories. Household counts from the most recent American Community Survey 5-year estimates.
The prize
10 Ecosense EcoQube radon monitors for the winning city's public library
Continuous radon monitors cost around $200 each and track radon in real time. Residents of the winning city will be able to check one out from the library like a book, run it in their home for a week, and return it.
FAQ
Common questions
Who runs this?
Utah Radon, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, provides the free test kits. The challenge was organized with the city councils of Bluffdale, Herriman, Riverton, and South Jordan.
Is there really no cost?
Correct. Free kit, free shipping, free lab analysis. No sales call, no follow-up pitch. Utah Radon's mitigation partner, Utah Radon Services, sponsors the kits.
What counts toward my city's score?
Only test kit requests submitted through this page from a resident address in your city between January 1 and January 31, 2027. Address and city on the form are used to attribute the test.
What if my home tests high?
The lab emails your results in 2 to 3 weeks. If your levels are above the World Health Organization threshold of 2.7 picocuries per liter, we provide educational resources on next steps and, if you want, a referral for a free no-pressure mitigation estimate.
Why percentage of households instead of raw count?
To keep the competition fair. South Jordan has roughly five times as many households as Bluffdale. Scoring by percentage means a smaller city has the same chance to win as a larger one.
How does the city claim the prize?
After the challenge window closes, Utah Radon announces the winner and coordinates delivery of 10 Ecosense EcoQube monitors directly to the winning city's public library.
