Why Davie homes need these repairs
Davie is a Broward County town with an equestrian, ranch-style character and suburban neighborhoods built since the 1970s. The town's utility treats both shallow Biscayne and deep Floridan aquifer water, and parts of Davie are served by other utilities, so a high water table and aging lines shape the calls.

Davie's water supply and your plumbing
The Town of Davie Utilities Department has two treatment plants with a total capacity of 10 million gallons a day: a lime-softening plant on the shallow Biscayne aquifer and a reverse-osmosis plant, commissioned in 2014, on the deep Floridan aquifer. [1]
The reverse-osmosis membranes remove the high salt content of Floridan aquifer water before it enters the distribution system. [2]
Polybutylene-era homes in Davie: leaks and repiping
The median home in Davie was built in 1987, and 34% of homes predate 1980. Homes from that era were typically built with copper or CPVC supply, plastic drains, and in some homes gray polybutylene supply pipe, which is where leaks, low pressure and drain problems usually start as they age.
- Galvanized steel supply (1900–1960)
- Copper supply (1950–2000)
- Polybutylene (some homes) (1978–1996)
- PEX / CPVC (1995–today)

Davie plumbing questions
Can recurring clogs in Davie mean a sewer line problem?
Yes. When several drains back up together, the main sewer line is the likely cause, and a camera inspection shows whether it's roots, a sag or a break. Why it comes up in Davie: Cast-iron drains in 1970s–80s homes crack under slabs.
When is a leaking water heater an emergency in Davie?
A leak from the tank itself won't stop and usually means replacement; turn off the gas or power and the cold-water valve, then call. Why it comes up in Davie: Year-round use wears out tanks.
Who supplies water in Davie?
The Town of Davie Utilities serves much of the town, but some areas are served by neighboring utilities such as Sunrise. Your bill names the provider.
Does Davie water come from deep or shallow wells?
Both: lime-softened Biscayne aquifer water and reverse-osmosis-treated Floridan aquifer water.
Do Davie ranch properties have private wells?
Some do. A private well needs its own pump service and regular water testing.
Is Davie water hard?
Softening and reverse osmosis remove much of the hardness, so heavy scale is uncommon on town water.
