Tips and Information

Water Meter

Your bill is based on the amount of gallons that flow through the water meter and not the size dwelling you live in.

Toilet

Toilet Tank Tablets

A toilet can leak countless gallons of water each month, and if you think your toilet is not leaking because you cannot see or hear evidence of a leakage, reconsider the possibility. It is possible for a toilet tank to slowly and silently leak into the bowl. You may do a simple check by either using food coloring or dye tablets that Texarkana Water Utilities provides, at no additional charge, just contact a Customer Service Specialist at 903-798-3800!

Brushing Your Teeth

Turn off the tap in your bathroom while you brush your teeth.

Glass of Water

You can refill an 8 oz glass of water approximately 15,000 times for the same cost as a six pack of soda pop.

Water Hose

When left unattended, a running hose, used for washing cars or flowering plants, is likely to waste 6 gallons of water per minute.

Shut Off Valve

Knowing where your master water shut off valve is and exercising it regularly could prevent a household disaster and save you thousands of dollars in water damage repairs if a water pipe springs a leak. This valve is usually located within a couple of feet of the water meter box or close to the house where the customer service line runs to the house.

Limited Water Supply

Water is a precious commodity and it is not an unlimited supply . Remember to use only the amount you actually need and encourage your family to keep looking for new ways to conserve water in and around your home.
