⚠️ Franklin Township Water: Citizens Energy Group, 15–20 GPG — Hard Water, No Source Softening

Citizens Energy Group serves Franklin Township — including Acton, Wanamaker, and the southeast Marion County corridor — drawing from the White River, Geist, Morse, and Eagle Creek Reservoirs plus groundwater treatment plants. Water hardness across the Citizens territory averages 15–20 GPG — hard to extremely hard, with no softening at the source. At those levels, mineral sediment accumulates rapidly in water heater tanks, restricts aerators and showerheads, and compounds wear on aging supply line fittings throughout the home. For Franklin Township's large population of 1980s–2000s-era homes, hard water is actively shortening the useful life of every plumbing system it touches.

🏠 Franklin Township Housing: Population Doubled Since 2000 — 1980s–90s Build Wave Now in the Danger Zone

Franklin Township saw one of Marion County's largest suburban build waves from the 1980s through early 2000s — the same era that produced polybutylene supply lines. Homes built between 1978 and 1995 used gray poly pipe that reacts with chlorinated Citizens water, becoming brittle over time and prone to sudden cracking. At 25–40 years old, those lines are at or past end of reliable service life. On top of that, older Acton and Wanamaker properties may carry pre-1970 galvanized or cast iron systems. With most residents owning their homes, Franklin Township families bear these risks directly — and most don't know what's inside their walls.

Franklin Township is served by Citizens Energy Group, which supplies southeast Marion County including Acton and Wanamaker. Citizens draws from the White River, Geist, Morse, and Eagle Creek Reservoirs plus groundwater treatment plants.

My Franklin Township home was built in the 1980s or 1990s — should I be concerned about my pipes?

Yes — Franklin Township saw its biggest residential build wave in the 1980s through 2000s, and homes built between 1978 and 1995 commonly used polybutylene supply lines. That gray plastic pipe reacts with chlorinated Citizens Energy water over time, becoming brittle and prone to sudden failure. At 25 to 40 years old, those supply lines are at or approaching end of reliable service life. Hard water at 15 to 20 GPG compounds stress on fittings and joints. A licensed plumber can inspect your supply lines and advise on repiping before a failure causes water damage. Call BNC at 317-352-0780 to schedule.
