Plumbing in Plattsville

What’s differentabout Plattsville homes.

Plattsville has some of the hardest water in our service area, and it shapes almost every water job we do here.

Water

Extremely hard, about 78 grains

Plattsville’s municipal water, supplied by Oxford County, runs about 78 grains per gallon, which is extremely hard on our scale. That usually means a twin alternating softener, 45,000 to 60,000 grain for two to four people.

Iron

Iron and manganese are common

Homes around Plattsville and Bright commonly have iron and manganese, which a softener alone does not handle well. We test first, then add an iron filter where it is needed.

Permits

A permit for plumbing work

Most plumbing work on water, sanitary and storm lines needs a building permit from the Township of Blandford-Blenheim. See the Township of Blandford-Blenheim building page. We pull the permit and book the inspection as part of the job.

Water heaters

Scale shortens tank life

Water this hard scales up the inside of a water heater fast. Softening protects it. See water heater replacement.
