Why Levittown homes get repiped
90% of homes in Levittown's covered ZIP codes were built before 1960 (90%, above the New York figure of 53%). That ranks 1st highest of the 73 New York cities we profile. Homes of that age were plumbed with galvanized steel, which rusts from the inside until pressure drops and the water runs brown.
Only 2% predates 1940, so most older homes here are postwar houses from the 1940s and 50s, typically one main run of galvanized pipe with branches to each fixture.
In New York: Housing is old in many cities, so cast iron, galvanized lines and lead service lines are common.
