What Arizona conditions mean for plumbing
Phoenix water runs around 237 mg/L (13.9 gpg), the midpoint of the utility's published range, and Tucson's CAP-blend supply about 211 mg/L (12.3 gpg), both very hard per utility reporting. Expect scale on fixtures, shortened water heater life, and clogged aerators over time. Freezes are mild and occasional here, but a rare desert cold snap can still split an exposed pipe, so outdoor lines deserve basic protection.
