You may not have - the numbers on your meter may have been transposed or hard to read. You could possibly have a leaky toilet or faucet that's difficult to detect. Please check your meter reading if you feel it may be in error and then call the office and we'll work with you to solve the problem.

Check your meter and the surrounding area for possible leaks. If you have a water softener by-pass it and see if that increases your water pressure.  You may also want to look and see if you have a pressure reducing valve.   Next, call our office and report low pressure for your area.

The cloudy or milky water is caused by air becoming dissolved in water similar to the gas bubbles in beer and carbonated soft drinks. When taken from the faucet after a while, the air bubbles rise to the top and are gone.  This cloudy or milky appearance usually occurs when water has been shut-off for line repairs or when newly installed lines are first put in to service.  Although aesthetically unpleasing, it presents not harmful health effects.

A cross-connection is a connection between a drinking water pipe and a possible polluted source. Here's a common example. You're going to spray weed killer on your lawn. You hook u your hose to the sprayer that contains the weed killer. If the water pressure drops at the same time your hose is turned on, the chemical in the sprayer may be sucked back into the drinking water pipes through the hose. This would seriously pollute the drinking water system. Using a backflow prevention device can prevent this problem.
