Plumbing & heating in Smithfield

Smithfield is a mix — the village centres at Greenville and Esmond, and then a good deal of housing spread out on larger lots, much of it on private wells rather than town water.

Well water changes things. Sediment and hardness shorten the life of a water heater considerably, and they are the reason a heater here can fail years before an identical one in Pawtucket.

It is also why filtration is worth a conversation on a replacement rather than an afterthought — it is far cheaper fitted at the same time.
