  • Thermal expansion / T&P valve. Huntingburg Water Utility warns that the dual check valve installed at the meter stops hot water from expanding back into the main, leaving the water heater's temperature-and-pressure (T&P) relief valve as the only release; it recommends checking the T&P valve periodically, notes a licensed plumber can repair or replace it, and says thermal expansion chambers add protection.

  • Sewer lateral inspection at sale. Huntingburg's Homeowner Protection Plan (HOPP) ordinance requires every sewer lateral to be inspected when a property changes ownership; the city also built an earthen berm in 2011 to keep its wastewater plant from flooding. Source
  • Floodplain. During the late-June 2026 flooding, 1st Street in Huntingburg was closed by high water on Bruner Creek; a separate June 2026 Free Press report says Huntingburg's room to grow is significantly limited by the floodplain. Source
