You could possibly have a leaky toilet or faucet that's difficult to detect. Just call the office and we'll work with you to solve the problem.

Check your meter and the surrounding area for possible leaks. Next, call our office and report low pressure for your area.

A repair could have been completed recently allowing air to enter the line, causing the milky look.  Run the water through your faucets for a few minutes and it should clear up.  The faucet may also have a filter that is restricting flow causing air in the water.  Make sure the filter on the faucet is clean and not restricting water flow.

Only chemicals that are approved by the National Safety Foundation for treatment of drinking water.  The only chemical Southwest Fannin Special Utility District adds to the water is chlorine. 

All public water systems are required to maintain a minimum chlorine level of 0.2 mg/L (tested at the end of each line) by state law. Systems that use chloramine as a disinfectant must maintain a level of 0.5 mg/L by state law. Our disinfectant levels are tested daily to ensure safety.  If the water tastes, smells, or looks funny please call the office to report the problem.

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.  The debris can come out on the cold water faucet as well and still be from the hot water heater or from the debris in your service lines.
