Johnston climate
by the numbers
Johnston's unique plumbing challenges
About 133 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The blocks along the old main street run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Windsor Heights
First frost typically lands around October 19
Seasonal timing
The median first frost for Johnston lands around October 19, the same date nearby Windsor Heights sees. Once that first hard freeze actually settles in, a water heater or softener that's already been struggling rarely improves on its own.

People also ask
About 12 a year, out of roughly 133 total nights below freezing. Older sections of town closer to Grimes see the same numbers as nearby Windsor Heights, since the cold doesn't care about a subdivision's age.
In lower-lying lots, yes. A pit that sat untested all winter is the usual point of failure once spring runoff raises the water table faster than the ground can absorb it.
Not within city limits, where municipal water is standard, but acreages out toward Polk City or Granger sometimes still rely on a private well.
The curb stop marks it. Everything from that valve to the house belongs to the homeowner, and everything back toward the main is the utility's.
