How could I have used this much water?

You could possibly have a leaky toilet or faucet that's difficult to detect. There is also the possibility that your meter has been misread.  Please call the office and we'll work with you to solve the problem.

What do I do if I am experiencing low pressure?

Check your meter and the surrounding area for possible leaks. Next, call our office and report low pressure for your area.

Why is my water discolored?

A repair could have been completed recently allowing air to enter the line, causing a milky look.  Pressure changes within the main may have also caused some minerals to break loose from inside the main, causing discolored water.  Please call our office if you are experiencing issues and we can help.

What chemicals does our utility district add to the water?

Only chemicals that are approved by the National Safety Foundation for treatment of drinking water.

My water tastes, looks, and smells funny. Is it safe to drink?

All public water systems are required to maintain a minimum chlorine level of 0.2 mg/L (tested at the end of each line) by state law. Our disinfectant levels are tested daily to ensure safety.  Please call our office if you are experiencing issues that are not addressed here.

Why does debris come out of the faucet when running hot water?

Most likely your water heater needs to be flushed. CAUTION: Most manufacturers recommend hiring a professional to flush your water heater. If you plan on doing this yourself, read the owner's manual to keep from being hurt and or damaging the water heater.

Why do I have a previous balance when I know I sent in my payment?

We may have received your payment after your new bill was printed, or we may not have received it at all. Please call our office and we will help you solve the issue.
