Homes in Arlington and how they take damage
Homes from the late 1970s through the early 90s may have polybutylene supply lines. Johnson Creek has a long flooding history, and the city has bought out flood-prone homes along it. Near UTA, apartments and rental houses make up many water losses, with landlords and tenants sharing the claim.
Arlington Water Utilities runs the city's water and sewer, and the city has its own stormwater program with floodplain maps for Johnson Creek, Rush Creek, Village Creek and Fish Creek. Many 1980s homes have original water heaters replaced once, now 10–15 years old, sitting in hall closets or garages. Game days near the stadiums also mean traffic delays that affect how quickly crews reach central Arlington.
