Both big cities have hard water. Lincoln averages about 11 grains per gallon. Omaha softens its river water to about 10.
Many homes have basements, so sump pumps matter in spring.
Each city sets its own rules. Omaha has its own plumbing code and board. Lincoln uses the Uniform Plumbing Code with local changes.
