Thought this would be highly useful or very reassuring to people with property in the States. Most people with properties over here have heard of the issues involved with Kitec Plumbing (or having read an earlier thread) but as someone who managed to have one of their properties completely replumbed free of charge (LOVELY estimated 10k repairs done), don't underestimate the class action lawsuits.
This link lists the developers and the development sites affected NATIONWIDE. I just found out that in Nevada you have until March 31, 2012 to file (extended):
http://www.epa.gov/compliance/resources/cases/civil/cwa/construction-sites.pdf
When you do your home inspection you should be conscious and aware that Kitec plumbing (generally shows as Blue & Red plumbing lines and I am always heightened aware of thi)s. The issue isn't the lines, it is the joints.
If you go to your title deed and the plat map where the subdivision is listed you will likely see the name at the top ie "KB HOMES - SUNRISE MOUNTAIN PHASE 1"
Where you own Lot "x" in block 'y' of etc etc
Hope no one is affected. Google Kitec if you have any questions.
