Sun City Summerlin, the Del Webb active adult community for residents 55 and over, was built from 1989 into the early 2000s in the northwest part of Summerlin. The community holds roughly 7,700 homes on slab foundations, with its own community association, golf courses and recreation centers. It is the oldest part of Summerlin by a clear margin, and homes in the earlier phases were built with copper supply lines that are now reaching the age where pinhole leaks begin. Active Plumbing crews working in Sun City Summerlin regularly encounter the specific challenges that come with this housing era: aging copper, water heaters on their second or third unit, silently failed expansion tanks, pressure regulators and shut-off valves that have not been turned in years.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority rates the valley's water very hard, at about 280 parts per million or 16 grains per gallon, which speeds up scale in water heaters, aerators and shower heads and makes fixtures harder to keep clean. Emergency plumbing calls in Sun City Summerlin often involve pinhole leaks in copper lines, slab leaks, or water heater failures, and a main shut-off that actually closes makes a big difference when one happens. Drain and sewer services are equally common, and golf course frontage on many lots adds irrigation and yard line work. Water heater services here often include flushing routines and water softeners to extend the life of new equipment.
