The short answer
Housing in Silver Springs runs to a median build year of 1986. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.

We do not perform plumbing work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.Silver Springs sits 2 years older than the FL median of 1988. Of the 143 FL towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 60% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 103rd.
What 1986 tells you about the pipe in Silver Springs
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
71% of occupied homes in Silver Springs are owner-occupied, 5 points above the FL figure of 66%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
