First-Service-Cycle Copper in Rhodes Ranch and Mountain's Edge Homes
Homes built in Enterprise's earliest master-planned communities, including Rhodes Ranch and Mountain's Edge, were constructed primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s with copper supply lines. These pipes are now 20 to 25 years old and have been exposed to Las Vegas Valley hard water throughout their service life. Las Vegas Valley water carries approximately 280 parts per million of dissolved minerals, among the hardest municipal water in the United States. Hard water causes pitting corrosion inside copper pipe walls, thinning them continuously from the inside out. When pipe walls thin sufficiently, pinhole leaks develop. Multiple pinhole leaks appearing in different locations of a home indicate that the pipe walls have thinned throughout the system rather than at isolated points, making repiping a more practical long-term solution than continued spot repairs.
