Common Plumbing Problems in North Richland Hills Homes
North Richland Hills buys its water and sewer treatment from the City of Fort Worth and the Trinity River Authority. The city maintains about 379 miles of water mains.
In 2024 the city checked more than 23,000 service lines and found none made of lead. The median home was built in 1986.
No Lead Service Lines Found
The city's 2024 survey found no lead service lines, which covers the pipe from the main to the meter area. Inside the house is another matter: old galvanized pipe and lead solder can still be present in homes from before 1986. If you're unsure, a plumber can check.

- Sewer smell under the slab can mean a cracked pipe.
