What to know in Avondale
Very hard water
At around 24 grains per gallon in the city's 2017 report, scale builds fast. Quartz or pebble hides it better than white plaster, and keeping calcium in balance matters more.
Not into common areas
Avondale bars draining into HOA common areas, as well as the street, alley and right of way. The cleanout is the city's preferred route.
Keep it away from the house
The city also says not to drain near structures. A hose run to the cleanout keeps water away from your slab and walls.
