Oklahoma uses one state plumbing code, and a state board licenses plumbers.
Hard freezes are a real risk. The February 2021 cold wave burst pipes across Oklahoma City, and ice storms hit Tulsa most winters.
Water hardness depends on the plant. Tulsa runs about 5 to 8 grains per gallon. Edmond says its water is hard.
In Norman, plumbers need both a state and a city license to get a permit.
