Call a Plumber in Arkansas (833) 763-0420Plumbing in Arkansas: What Differs by City
Arkansas does it differently. Plumbers are licensed by the Department of Health, which also runs the state plumbing code. In Little Rock, plumbing needs its own permit.
Little Rock has very soft water, about 1 to 1.7 grains per gallon. Its older houses sit on crawl spaces, where leaks hide and pipes can freeze.
In the northwest, Fayetteville, Springdale and Rogers all get Beaver Lake water. Fayetteville is newer, with half its homes built after 1997.
Fort Smith draws mainly from Lake Fort Smith.
North Little Rock shares Central Arkansas Water's soft supply. Conway draws from Brewer Lake, and Jonesboro from wells.
