Plumbing in Largo
Largo is the middle of Pinellas in every sense: mid-county, mid-century, and mid-price, with block houses from the 1950s and 1960s in Ridgecrest and East Bay, 1970s and 1980s subdivisions in Bardmoor and Highland Lakes, and one of the largest concentrations of manufactured-home communities in the county. Each of those is its own plumbing job. The block houses have copper under the slab and cast iron drains at the end of their life; the subdivisions are polybutylene years; a manufactured home has its own supply and drain routing under the floor and its own set of parts.
Water for most of Largo comes from Pinellas County Utilities: 210 ppm of hardness on average in 2024, a range of 168 to 252, which the utility itself translates as 9.8 to 14.7 grains for softener settings, chloraminated, pH 8.01. That is the hardest water on this list and the reason Largo water heaters fill with sediment. Plumbing permits inside the city go through Largo's building division; the unincorporated pockets go through Pinellas County; the PCCLB in Largo is the county's contractor licensing board, at 12600 Belcher Road.
