HOMES IN HERRIMAN
What Herriman homes are like.
2013Median year built
4%Built before 1980
79%Owner-occupied
85%Heat with utility gas
82%Single-family homes
About 63% of homes were built since 2010, so many original water heaters are reaching the age when replacement planning makes sense.
85% of homes heat with utility gas, so gas water heaters with existing venting are common here.
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey ACS 2024 5-year ↗ (2020-2024). Heating fuel is what homes use to heat the house. It often, but not always, matches the water heater’s fuel.
LOCAL CONDITIONS
What’s different in Herriman.
Hardness changes with the season
Herriman mixes very hard well water (25–60 gpg) with Jordan Valley Water (10–12 gpg), and switches to Jordan Valley water only each mid-October. That makes summer water much harder. The city's water quality coordinator can tell you your home's usual hardness for setting a softener.
Tankless needs a gas diagram and plan review
Tankless water heaters and added gas appliances need a gas drawing and plan review. Compared with a standard tank swap, that adds $183 and about 7–10 business days.
