What to know about plumbing in Omaha
Omaha water is softened, but still hard
Omaha's tap water comes from Metropolitan Utilities District (M.U.D.), which draws on the Missouri and Platte Rivers and the Dakota sandstone aquifer. M.U.D. lime-softens the water to about 170 milligrams per liter, or roughly 10 grains per gallon of hardness. That still leaves enough calcium and magnesium to build scale in water heaters and fixtures, so annual water heater flushing and softener questions are common.

Older homes may have lead service lines
M.U.D. says lead service lines may be found in Omaha homes built before the 1930s. The utility is replacing customer-owned lead service lines free of charge, with a goal of finishing by the end of 2035, and has an interactive map where you can enter your address to see your line's material. If you are planning other plumbing work in an older house, check the map first. Source: M.U.D. Lead Service Line Replacement Program
Get ready before the first hard freeze
Nebraska winters are hard on pipes in garages, crawl spaces and exterior walls. Disconnect garden hoses, insulate exposed pipes, test your sump pump before spring, and know where your main water shut-off is in case a pipe bursts.
Check the license
Nebraska does not license plumbers statewide; in Omaha, journeyman and master plumber licenses are issued by the City of Omaha Planning Department and its Plumbing Board. Ask for the license number and confirm it with the city before work starts. Source: official licensing page
