Has your public/mud dist. water supply been bad lately?

[Glockster69]

My water has either gone off or been severely reduced @ 6 times in the last 30-45 days.

At the current pressure, it will take an hour to shower tonight. Hope I don't need to flush too.

I've heard of a number of people having issues with their MUD wells going down.

Zero water pressure for @ 5 hours.
I want to shower (& flush).

public systems go weak very often as lines break (especially in a drought as earth is shifting and breaking lines). Part of Texas living I suppose.

Yeah, that and the water supply levels are dropping like rocks. Makes me glad I am on a well.....sorta.

sorta on the same vein - our water supply was switched from well to surface water about two months back. It sucks. Looks bad, tastes bad, smells bad (heated to steam in the shower, dishwasher, etc).

And it doesn't do a damned thing for my vegetable garden.

Either an expensive whole house system is now a necessity or I will need to go pioneer on this shit and build a raincatch (which of course would require rain).

I have low water pressure off and on for a couple of days now. Never noticed it before.

I'll take your low pressure over my no pressure any hour of the day. THIS hour works for me.

I can tell what night of the week it is by turning on a faucet, low pressure (lawn watering days), but not no-pressure yet.

Be glad you can get some water, a lot of people around here are having to haul water because their wells are dry. The town of Leakey is having to drill another well (they have 5) just to get some water for the town. So far we are still good, my well is real close to the Frio River (what's left of it)

I agree BHO is the Devil.

We are all praying for some subtantial rain.

Right there with ya. When they cut us over last year the water smelled and tasted horrible. And the best part is we're paying extra money in our water bills to pay for the conversion costs.

For all y'all in other parts - utility districts in some coastal counties (Harris and Galveston at least) have been mandated to convert over to 80% surface water by this year, if not already at or above that. The problem is that subsidence in some areas has gotten to the point where they claim we can't keep drawing so much well water to service suburban areas with a high population but few or no connections to surface sources.

Several months after, when you'd hope the water would have cleared up, it still smells like rusty turds. Can't tell you what it tastes like because I won't drink the stuff.
