Clinton water heaters: what is local.

Clinton is about 90.9% owner-occupied.^[4] About 50.3% of homes were built in 2000 or later and 22.5% in the 1990s. About 89.1% heat with utility gas.

A large share of 1990s homes means many Clinton houses are on their second or third water heater. Check the vent and the straps on each swap, since older installs may predate current Utah rules.
