Colorado River and Groundwater
Yuma and Lake Havasu City draw from the Colorado, Bullhead City from river and wells, and Kingman from groundwater. Check your bill for your provider and its notices. The line from the meter and everything inside belong to the owner.
Extreme Heat and Plastic Fittings
Triple-digit heat for months cracks brittle plastic fittings and bakes hose bibs. Shade or insulate outdoor pipe and replace aging parts.
Very Hard River Water
Colorado River water is very hard. Scale builds fast in heaters and on fixtures, so flush tank heaters at least yearly and descale tankless units.
Retiree, Seasonal and Vacation Homes
Many homes sit empty for weeks. Shut off the water at the main when away and test shutoffs before returning.
