Idaho has one plumbing code for the whole state, and the state licenses plumbers and contractors.
Many Idaho homes have 2 water systems. Drinking water comes from wells or rivers, and lawn water comes from canals. In Nampa and Twin Falls, the 2 must never be connected.
Winter brings burst pipes. Spring brings cracked sprinkler lines that were not drained in fall.
Boise gets most of its water from wells. Older North End homes still have galvanized and clay pipe.
Meridian and Idaho Falls draw hard well water.
