The Sewerage and Water Board treats surface water from the Mississippi River, creating moderately hard water with mineral content that builds up in fixtures over time. This scaling clogs aerators and reduces flow efficiency if you do not clean them quarterly. Our aging distribution system includes pipes installed in the early 1900s, contributing iron sediment that damages valve seals and fills water heater tanks. Homes in Gentilly and Lakeview often experience pressure drops during peak usage hours, requiring pressure-compensating fixtures to maintain consistent flow. These local conditions demand different conservation approaches than cities with newer infrastructure or softer water.
