Why Nampa homes need these repairs

Nampa is a fast-growing Treasure Valley city west of Boise, with older homes near downtown and many new subdivisions. Drinking water comes from deep city wells, and most homes also get separate pressurized irrigation water, so cold winters, hard well water and keeping the two water systems safely separated shape most of the plumbing calls here.
