The neighborhood
Little Valley is in southeast St. George, near the Washington Fields, where farmland gave way to subdivisions mostly from the 1990s through the 2010s. It is largely single-family homes on generous lots, many with RV garages, side yards and big landscaped backyards, along with newer infill.
Plumbing by age
- 1990s homes may have polybutylene or early PEX, original water heaters long since replaced, and original softeners nearing the end of their lives.
- 2000s homes usually have PEX supply lines with brass or plastic fittings. Some early plastic fittings and manifold connections are known to crack, especially where water is hard.
- Newer homes may have tankless heaters and recirculation systems. The Washington County Water Conservancy District's standards now require hot water recirculation in most new homes over 1,400 square feet (Washington County Water Conservancy District, Water Efficiency Standards (Oct. 2023)).
Common calls
Water heaters and softeners
A house built 20 years ago has probably been through at least one water heater and may be on its first, tired softener. The city recommends setting softeners at about 18 grains and no higher than 22 (City of St. George Water Services, Collection and Distribution (FAQ)). See water heaters and softeners.
Irrigation and yard leaks
Big yards mean long irrigation runs and backflow assemblies that sit exposed through summer heat and winter freezes. The city's leak checklist starts with wet or soft spots in the yard and heads that leak with the system off (City of St. George Water Services, Collection and Distribution (FAQ)).
Slab leaks
Like most of St. George, Little Valley homes are on slabs, and the Utah Geological Survey flags expansive soils as a key local construction concern (Utah Geological Survey, Geologic-Hazard Maps for the St. George-Hurricane Area). A moving meter with everything off is the first clue. See leak repair.
Laundry and shower drains
Busy households, sports gear and red sand add up. See drain cleaning.

Little Valley plumbing FAQs
Where is Little Valley?

What pipe do Little Valley homes have?
Most have PEX supply lines; some 1990s homes have polybutylene or early PEX fittings.
How can I tell if my irrigation is leaking?
Look for wet or soft spots when the rest of the yard is dry, and heads that drip with the system off. Watching the meter with all water off confirms it.
