Canaan climate
by the numbers
Canaan's unique plumbing challenges
About 149 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Chatham
First frost typically lands around October 18
Seasonal timing
First frost lands around Oct 18 most years, and the weeks after it are when a heater's recovery time starts slipping on the same shower schedule that worked in summer.

Often it's a reaction between the anode rod and bacteria in the tank, especially on well systems. A plumber can confirm the source and go over anode options rather than guessing at the fixture end. It's the same answer for a home over in New Lebanon.
Because the water coming in is colder, so the heater has to raise it further and takes longer to recover between draws. If the drop is sudden rather than seasonal, a failed lower element or heavy sediment is the more likely cause.
Most tanks give eight to twelve years, and cold winters shorten that end of the range because the burner runs more hours. With about 8 below-zero nights a year, a tank in its second decade is worth having looked at before it starts leaking rather than after.
In a home with a basement it's usually on the wall where the service line enters, near the meter. Knowing that valve and the outside curb stop before a leak happens saves a lot of water damage.
