Youngtown's water, sewer and housing

Youngtown is a small town on the east bank of the Agua Fria River between El Mirage and Sun City. Built from 1954 as the first planned retirement community in the country, it dropped its age restriction in 1999 and is now a mixed-age town. The Town says it doesn't own its water and utilities, which are provided by private companies. Water comes from EPCOR's Sun City system, which serves Sun City and Youngtown from groundwater with hardness of 7 to 11 grains per gallon. We couldn't confirm which company provides sewer service to Youngtown, so look at your bill for that number.

With homes dating back to the 1950s, original galvanized supply lines, aging valves and older drain piping can be part of the picture, and they raise the odds of a sudden failure. We did not find an official page naming Youngtown's gas utility; check your gas bill and keep the number handy.

What changes the price

• When you call. After-hours visits usually cost more.
• Pipe age. In an older house, one failed section can reveal others that need attention.
• Access. Slab, wall and ceiling leaks take longer than exposed pipe.
• Permits. Plans and permit applications go to Youngtown's Community Development Department at Town Hall (623-933-8286), and the plumber can check whether your repair needs one.

What to expect on the call

You'll reach an independent plumber who works in Youngtown. Give the address and a cross street such as 111th Avenue, and say whether the main is closed. Ask about after-hours pricing before work begins. No arrival time is promised; it depends on the hour and the plumber's schedule.
