Plumbing issues worth knowing about
District call or plumber call?
The district handles its mains and its side of the connection. It charges a $75 after-hours fee for work done outside business hours. A burst pipe or a leaking water heater inside the house is a plumber's job. Close your main shutoff and call one.

Polybutylene in 1980s and early-90s homes
Polybutylene supply pipe was installed nationally from 1978 to mid-1995, and a large settlement covered failures in that window. That overlaps much of the housing here. Polybutylene is gray, flexible and often stamped PB. If you see it near the water heater or main shutoff, have it looked at before it leaks.

Irrigation lines and outdoor leaks
Landscaped lots mean buried irrigation lines and backflow devices. A leak there can show up as a soggy strip of lawn or a higher bill in summer.
