Agree, under normal circumstances water heater on city treated water should last longer than 12 years most 15 and some over 20 years. Now if your on well water (depending on minerals in well water?) expect 10 years max. When I lived in Oklahoma on well water I always brought 12 warranty water heater and I alway got free one before warranty expired. In 20 years I lived there I replace 4 water heaters 2 were free due to didn’t last longer than warranty, which all developed pin hole leak in bottom. Was in utility room with drain so no problem with water damage.
