Have questions about your drinking water quality? Want to report discolored water, water that tastes or smells bad, water pressure that's too high or too low, or no water at the tap? Our water quality specialists can help!
1. Check out troubleshooting guides
We have several troubleshooting guides to help you address the issue:
- Discolored water
- Taste or smell
- Water pressure and flow
- Filtering water at home
- Water heater maintenance
- Measuring pH
If the troubleshooting guides do not resolve your issue or you need more help, follow the steps below to contact our water quality specialists.
2. Gather information
Check the WaterWorks map to see if there is construction or maintenance work in your area.
To help us understand your issue, be prepared to answer the following questions:
- Is the issue happening at all of your faucets?
- Is it happening with your cold water, your hot water, or both?
- How would you describe what is happening? For example, if the water smells, what does it smell like? If the water is discolored, what color is it? If you see particles in the water, what size and color are they?
3. Contact us
The Water Quality Line operates Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. If you contact us outside of these hours, we will respond the next business day.
