Water Facts...

  • All of our water is treated by Carbon Filtration Systems. This removes PFOS/PFOA and most other contaminants not already removed by traditional treatments we employ.
  • 22-Sep-2016: We are NOT on the list of water systems with Chromium-6 detection...See the Quick Link below...

  1. Yard Waste Notice - Bags & Cans Over 50 lbs Will Not Be Collected

    Our collection ordinance specifies 50 lbs as the weight limit. For instance if you are using "Contractor Bags" and you have wet/damp waste it is likely going to be too heavy.

Things to Know About Your Water Usage...

- Our residential water meters have no moving parts. They sense water usage by fluidic oscillation. They are not affected by any tiny particles like other types of mechanical metering devices. They are very accurate, and in the very unlikely event one was not recording accurately, it would most likely be in your favor, and read low.

- If you have high usage and aren't filling a pool or watering your lawn or garden, you may have a leak or even a hose that may have been left on. A 5/8" hose can pass 3,000 gallons an hour. 

- Sink and wash tub faucet leaks are easy to see. Toilets may not always be so obvious. If your toilet has a rear tank you can add some food coloring to the water. If the bowl remains clear after several hours, the toilet is fine. A toilet leak can consume up to 2,000 gallons in a day. A silent leak may use 500 to 1,000 gallons/day.

- Check under your crawl space or in your basement weekly - as a leak there can impact more than just your water bill. In addition to water damage, the wetness attracts termites.
