Local plumbing issues in Sacramento
Tree roots
Sacramento's large urban tree canopy sends roots into older clay laterals.
Flood-prone low areas
Low-lying areas near the rivers benefit from working sump pumps and backwater protection.
Older supply lines
Galvanized pipe in pre-war homes causes low pressure and discolored water.
Flood protection city
Sacramento sits at the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers and is protected by levees. Low-lying neighborhoods such as Natomas take sump pumps and backwater protection seriously.
Water meter program
Sacramento installed water meters citywide over recent years, so older homes that once paid a flat rate now see leaks reflected on their bills.
