o Question: My water tastes, looks and smells funny, is it safe to drink?
 
Answer: All public water systems in the state of Texas are required to maintain a minimum chlorine level of 0.5 (tested at the end of the system). We maintain a level of 2.0 through 3.0 at the source (tested at the beginning of the system). Our chlorine levels are tested daily to ensure safety. Unless you hear of a "boil water" notice from an emergency situation, your water will always be safe to drink.
