Common Plumbing Problems in Pompano Beach Homes
Pompano Beach draws water from the Biscayne Aquifer at 2 wellfields and treats it at a 50 million gallon a day plant that runs lime softening and nanofiltration side by side, then blends the streams.
A separate reuse system, OASIS, delivers treated wastewater for lawn irrigation. The median Pompano Beach home was built in 1974.
Plumbing in a Pompano Beach Condo
- Check the association documents for which pipes are common and which are yours.
- Know where your unit's shutoff is before a leak.
- A leak into the unit below must be reported to management right away.
- Some buildings require notice and set working hours for plumbing work.
Reclaimed Water Lines
Some Pompano Beach properties get OASIS reclaimed water for irrigation. It runs in separate purple pipes and must never be connected to the drinking water lines. If you're adding a sprinkler zone or moving an outdoor faucet, make sure the plumber knows which system is which.
