What plumbing actually looks like in Clearwater
Clearwater is a Gulf-front Pinellas city whose housing is newer than St. Petersburg’s but still older than most inland boom towns: the ACS median year built is 1978, and the 1970s are the single largest decade (about 27% of units). Those houses often have aging drain lines and slab leaks. There is no official Clearwater row in the Florida Climate Center normals, so these pages use St.
Petersburg, the official Pinellas County station, which shows a July rainfall peak of 9.73 inches and 53.62 inches a year. The City of Clearwater issues its own permits, separate from St. Petersburg. We do not invent a city-only hardness number.
