What chemicals does our utility district add to the water?

My water tastes, looks, and smells funny. Is it safe to drink?
If you ever exerience any of these situations, please contact the District.
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?
