Water Quality Questions:
- Question: What do I do if I am experiencing low pressure?
Answer: First, check your meter and surrounding area for possible leaks.
Second, call our office (see Contacts) and report low pressure for your
area.
- Question: Why is my water milky in color?
Answer: A repair could have been completed recently allowing air to enter the line,
causing the milky look.
- Question: What chemicals does Wickson Creek SUD add to the water?
Answer: Chlorine only.
- Question: Why does my water taste, look and smell funny?
Answer: Once there has been an interruption in service (line breaks and water
flow has stopped) this sensitive chemical (chlorine) releases an odor and
smell that will take several days to clear up.
- Question: My water tastes, looks and smells funny, is it safe to drink?
Answer: All public water systems in the state of Texas are required to maintain a
minimum chlorine level of 0.5 (tested at the end of the system) by state
law . We maintain a level of 2.0 through 3.0 at the source (tested at the
beginning of the system). Our chlorine levels are tested daily to ensure
safety. Unless you hear of a "boil water" notice from an emergency
situation, your water will always be safe to drink.
- Question: Why does debris come out of the faucet when running hot water?
Answer: Most likely your water heater needs to be flushed. This should be done
once a year. CAUTION: If you plan on doing this yourself, read the
owners manual to keep from being harmed and/or damaging the water
heater.
NOTE: If you have any other questions, please feel free to call our main office at the
number listed on the contacts page.
