Call a Plumber in Utah (833) 763-0420Plumbing in Utah: What Differs by City
Utah licenses plumbers at the state level. Cities follow the codes the state adopts.
Some Utah cities run 2 water systems: one for drinking and one for the yard. In Riverton and Hurricane, the 2 must never be connected.
Water is hard in much of the state. Provo runs 10 to 15 grains per gallon. In Salt Lake City, well water is harder than mountain water.
Older homes in Salt Lake City's Avenues and Sugar House have galvanized and clay pipe.
Blow out sprinklers before the first hard freeze. A cracked line can flood a yard in spring.
