Common Plumbing Problems in Nampa Homes
Nampa's drinking water comes from 17 wells in the western Snake River Plain Aquifer, with hardness from none to about 7 grains per gallon. Lawn water is separate: pressurized irrigation from canals fed by Arrowrock, Lucky Peak and Anderson Ranch reservoirs.
The median Nampa home was built in 2000.
House Water vs. Irrigation Water
Nampa runs 2 separate systems: treated well water for the house and untreated canal water for sprinklers. They must never be connected. A leak on the irrigation side is not a drinking water problem, and irrigation water is not safe to drink. The city also warns that using house water for the lawn raises water and sewer charges.
Fall Checklist for a Nampa Home
- Shut off and drain the pressurized irrigation line to the house before the first hard freeze.
- Disconnect hoses from outside faucets.
- Insulate pipes in garages and crawl spaces.
- If a pipe freezes, open its faucet and close the main shutoff before it thaws. See frozen pipes.
Water Heater Replacement
Tanks in 2000s homes are at the end of their life.

- Freeze damage. Several fittings can crack in one cold snap.

- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
