Anaheim, Fullerton, and their neighbors hold some of Orange County's oldest tract housing, built in the 1950s–60s boom with slab foundations — slab leaks and end-of-life galvanized pipe are routine here. Hard imported water accelerates water-heater scale. Summer heat is hotter than coastal OC, so aging AC condensers get worked hard.
