Half the homes in Portland were built before 1946. Winters are long, so frozen pipes are common.
Portland's water comes from Sebago Lake and is very soft. The water district says a softener is not needed.
In Portland, a building permit does not cover plumbing. The plumbing permit is separate and must be issued before work starts.
