Water Quality in the Home

As a consumer, you play a large role in enhancing the water quality in your home. If water has been stagnant for more than 6 hours, flush water lines by running the cold water for 2 minutes prior to using the water from a faucet for drinking or cooking. If you are returning from vacation or many days without water use, then run your cold water for 5-10 minutes before using for drinking and cooking.

It is recommended to use cold water from your tap for drinking and cooking. Some metals, such as iron and calcium, can accumulate in your hot water heater. Periodically, remove and clean the strainer/aerator device on your faucet to remove debris.

If you use a water filter, WASA strongly recommends replacing the cartridge periodically as recommended by the manufacturer.
