Sisseton sits in South Dakota's cold northern climate — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. That's hard on a home's plumbing: deep sub-freezing cold that freezes and bursts supply lines and a long frost season that keeps buried pipe cold enough to crack all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are frozen and burst supply lines on sub-zero nights and sewer lines sheared by frost heave. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
