Sewer Smoke Testing continues in Boerne
|
|
Weather permitting, Boerne Utilities work crews will be conducting smoke test surveys throughout Boerne over the next several months. This testing is a very effective way for crews to locate leaks, breaks and defects in the city’s sewer system. Residents may see harmless smoke coming from the vent stacks on houses or holes in the ground. The smoke is non-toxic and non-staining, has no odor, is white to gray in color, and does not create a fire hazard.

Wipes and pipes don't mix
|
|
Nothing is worse than sewer pipes clogged with wipes and other so called "flushables". Sure they may go down your toilet, but they do not break down in the sewer system, and then they cause very expensive repairs. So PLEASE keep all baby wipes, facial cleansing wipes, napkins, paper towels, scrubbing pads, and feminine products out of the toilets.

Water saving tips for summer
|
|
You might often assume that the heat of summer will lead to more water consumption. That’s because lawns, gardens, and even swimming pools demand a lot of it. But the truth is during summer even indoor water costs are still 50 to 70 percent of your monthly water bill.
|
|
|
|
|
This report is a summary of the quality of the water we provide our customers. The analysis was made by using the data from the most recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required tests. We hope this information helps you become more knowledgeable about what’s in your drinking water.
|
|
|
|
|
Boerne Utilities water customers should be following the year-round water conservation rules. Lawns and landscaping typically need less than one inch of water per week during the winter. Drought tolerant landscapes with native plants need even less. Let's all do our part to avoid Stage 1 restrictions.

Mosquitos just love standing water
|
|
Keep mosquitoes from laying eggs inside and outside of your home. At least once a week, empty and scrub, turn over, cover, or throw out containers that hold water. These can include vases, pet water bowls, flowerpot saucers, discarded tires, buckets, pool covers, birdbaths, trash cans, and rain barrels.
