York Homes and What They Need
York's housing stock is largely mid-to-late 20th century, with a median build year of 1977 and about 22 percent of homes predating 1940. The town's large land area and coastal villages support a big seasonal and vacation-home population alongside year-round residents, which shows up as a wide range of system ages and quality on our service calls.
Water Supply and Drains in York
York's public water is split across three different districts covering only part of the town: the York Water District (drawing from Chase's Pond since 1896) covers roughly a quarter of the land area around York Village, York Beach and the Route 1 corridor, with small slivers served by the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport & Wells and Kittery water districts. The large majority of York's land relies on private wells, and public sewer covers only a small fraction of town, concentrated in York Corner, York Village and York Beach, with most properties on private septic.
Getting to Know York
York was first settled in 1624 as Agamenticus, and Sir Ferdinando Gorges chartered it as 'Gorgeana' in 1642 -- a charter sometimes cited as the first incorporated city in what is now the United States. It was reincorporated as York in 1652 under the Massachusetts Bay Colony, making it the second-oldest incorporated town in Maine, just two years behind Kittery.
A photograph of York's Cape Neddick 'Nubble' Light is included on the Voyager 1 Golden Record, labeled simply 'Seashore, Maine.' The town became a fashionable summer resort after the Civil War and still shows off Gilded Age, shingle-style architecture across its historic districts.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is a locally owned Portland, Maine company serving York — not a national franchise. Nobody on our crew works on commission, so there is no incentive to sell you more than the job needs. Getting invited back is the only metric that matters here.

Fixture Installation: Faucets, Toilets & What Fails First
Fixture replacement is usually the most visible plumbing work in a home, and also where a rushed installation shows up fastest — a faucet that wiggles, a toilet that rocks, a drain that was never quite sealed right.

Codes & Permits for Fixture Installation in York
In York, plumbing permits come from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the York Code Enforcement Office (186 York Street, York, ME 03909, (207) 363-1002). With 13,986 residents, York is required to enforce the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC). Maine's Mandatory Shoreland Zoning Act applies along York's extensive coastline and rivers (York River, Cape Neddick River), restricting structure placement near the water.
- Plumbing work in Maine is performed by state-licensed Master or Journeyman plumbers (with licensed apprentices working under them), as established and examined by the Plumbers' Examining Board. maine.gov
- The Local Plumbing Inspector can reject work that doesn't meet code, order corrections, and must issue a written approval before a plumbing permit is considered closed. mainelegislature.org
- Plumbing repairs and fixture work are permitted and enforced locally by each municipality's Local Plumbing Inspector, appointed under state law. mainelegislature.org
- Every Maine municipality must annually appoint at least one Local Plumbing Inspector (LPI), who does not have to live in that town, to issue plumbing permits and enforce the state's plumbing rules and Subsurface Wastewater Disposal (septic) rules locally. mainelegislature.org
How Aces Highlands Handles Fixture Installation in York
- 22% of York's housing predates 1940 (median year built 1977), so before quoting a fixture installation we find out what's actually in the walls — galvanized, cast iron, early copper or PEX.
- Most York addresses are on York Water District (primary provider, covering roughly 25% of the town's land area — York Village, York Beach, and the Route 1 corridor). Small portions of York are also served by the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport & Wells Water District (~5% of town area, northeastern corner) and the Kittery Water District (~2%, Cider Hill/Scotland Bridge/Beech Ridge roads area). Roughly 70%+ of York's land area has no public water district service and relies on private wells. water, drawn from Chase's Pond — the sole water supply source for the York Water District since 1896 — the pipes, valves and fixtures on your side of the meter are what we service.
- Anything that needs a permit gets one through the York Code Enforcement Office, built to the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code Maine adopted in 2022.

We highly recommend Highlands Heating & AC. They are extremely responsive, knowledgeable and do great work. Our boiler stopped working and Elijah was quick to respond after hours on a Friday. He installed a new boiler and heat pump hot water heater.

He was very friendly. He gave me an honest explanation on why I shouldn't recharge my A/C unit and what he suggested made much more sense. He really took care of everything. He is very professional, always called me with updates. 5 stars is not enough — I give this company 10 stars.

We have called Samuel for our electrical needs over the last few years and have always been impressed with professional and courteous attitude — installing extra outlets, installing new lights and ceiling fans, our whole house generator, charger for the electric car, even the hot tub!!! His price was fair, and never disappointed when work was completed.
Fixture Installation FAQs
Can I supply my own faucet or toilet for you to install?
Absolutely. We install customer-supplied fixtures every week, and we are glad to advise on brands and configurations before you buy so the fixture fits your sink or rough-in. We can also supply the fixture if you prefer one-stop convenience.
How long does fixture installation take?
A straightforward faucet or toilet replacement usually takes one to two hours. Garbage disposals, shower valves, and installations where old shutoff valves or corroded connections need replacement can take longer. We give you a realistic time estimate before we start.
Should my old shutoff valves be replaced during a fixture swap?
Often, yes. Shutoff valves that have not been turned in years frequently seize or weep once disturbed. Replacing a worn shutoff during a fixture installation costs little while everything is already apart — and it means you can actually shut water off in an emergency.
Do new fixtures really lower my water bill?
They can. WaterSense-labeled faucets and toilets use 20-60% less water than older models — a pre-1994 toilet can use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush versus 1.28 for a modern one. For a busy household, that difference shows up on the bill.
Will you try to upsell me on other plumbing work while you are here?
No. Aces Highlands is a local Portland company, not a franchise — nobody here works on commission. If we happen to spot a genuine safety or leak issue while working, we will point it out and let you decide. Otherwise we do the job you called us for.
