Portville climate
by the numbers
Portville's unique plumbing challenges
About 147 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 Olean
First frost typically lands around October 17
Seasonal timing
About 8 nights a year fall below zero here, cold enough that an uninsulated recirculation return in a crawlspace can freeze solid while the fixtures it feeds look fine.

In most homes here it's on the inside of the foundation wall nearest the street, ahead of the meter. Older houses sometimes have a second valve at the curb stop that only the water department should operate.
Generally the piece from the curb stop into the house is yours, and the main under the road is the water department's. Where that curb stop actually sits is worth knowing before a leak forces the question, especially on older streets closer to Olean.
It doesn't need to. A timer that matches when the house actually uses hot water is the common setup, and a pump left running full time will simply wear out sooner. Constant heat in the return line is the sign that something in the control quit.
