⚠️ Southport Water: Citizens Energy Group, ~15 GPG — And Lead Lines Being Replaced Now

Southport and Perry Township are served by Citizens Energy Group, which draws from the White River, Geist, Morse, and Eagle Creek Reservoirs plus six groundwater treatment plants. Water hardness across Citizens' territory ranges from 12 to 20 GPG — south Marion County homes typically land around 15 GPG with no softening at the source. Citizens is also mid-way through a state-approved lead service line replacement program covering an estimated 55,000–75,000 lines in the service territory. If you've received a notice, your street is in an upcoming project area. Citizens replaces the public right-of-way portion — but the line on your property is your responsibility.

🏠 Southport Housing: Perry Township 1970s–90s Era — Polybutylene Era Fully in Play

Southport's housing stock dates primarily from the late 20th century — the 1970s ranches, 1980s split-levels, and 1990s builds that define Perry Township's residential character. Marion County's median build year is 1977, putting the bulk of Southport-area homes squarely in the polybutylene supply line era. That gray plastic pipe is now 30–50 years old, reacting with chlorinated Citizens Water to develop invisible internal fractures. Homeownership here runs at nearly 79% — meaning most residents own a home they may not have fully inspected. A supply line assessment is smart before a failure happens inside a wall.
