Polybutylene and Leesburg's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 39%, above the Florida figure of 35%. That ranks 41st highest of the 111 Florida cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in Leesburg ask about it.
Look for gray (sometimes blue or black) flexible pipe stamped PB2110 at the water heater, under sinks or at the main shutoff. Homes of the same era in nearby The Villages raise the same question.
In Florida: Most of the state draws from limestone aquifers, so water is generally hard and softeners are common.
