From the route notebook

West Oak Trails houses were built during a period when PEX was gaining ground but copper was still common, so we find both, sometimes in the same house. Both perform well; the trouble usually lies at fittings, valves and fixtures rather than the pipe itself.

Many of the area’s homes have walk-out or look-out basements on sloped lots near the trails, which affects how groundwater reaches the weeping tile and how hard the sump works. On those lots we pay extra attention to the discharge line, making sure water leaves well away from the foundation rather than running back toward it down the slope.

Calls from West Oak Trails come in on the same phone line as everywhere else, and the drive along Third Line or Upper Middle is short.
