Water Services

August is National Water Quality Month, making it the ideal time for new and long-time residents to take a closer look at our local water supply. The City's annual Drinking Water Quality Report shows exactly how our water measures up against federal and state standards.

In this week’s episode of “What’s Up, College Station?,” Water Resource Coordinator Jennifer Nations discusses practical outdoor water conservation strategies, the risks of excessive summertime watering, and how efficient water management protects College Station’s groundwater infrastructure and saves residents money.

Think about it: What else in your home costs so little but has so much impact on your life? As we wrap up National Drinking Water Week, we’re reminded that water is the silent partner in all we do. Access to clean, safe drinking water is essential for our health, our fire protection, and our economic growth.

In this week’s episode of "What's Up, College Station?,” Water Resource Coordinator Jennifer Nations discusses how she wishes residents would think about every drop of water, surprising water usage data, smart irrigation tips, and her lifelong affection for Snow White.

Every day is a good day to find and fix leaks, and as part of Fix a Leak Week, the City of College Station and the EPA WaterSense program offer some valuable, easy-to-follow tips to fix costly leaks and save water. The free Fix a Leak Week Lunch and Learn Workshop is at noon on Friday at the Gary Halter Nature Center.

In case you missed it: At its Jan. 22 meeting, the College Station City Council received an annual update from the Water Services Department, including an overview of operations, key priorities, planned actions, and water conservation initiatives.

With temperatures expected to plummet this weekend, now is the time to take action to protect your home and family from the risk of broken pipes. Here's what to do before and during a freeze.

On Friday at 8 a.m., Southern Plantation from Highway 6 to just past Windswept Drive will be closed for a water line repair. Water service will be shut off to the 4000 block of Windswept (north of Southern Plantation) and to two businesses. UPDATE (10/24, 2 p.m.): Water service has been restored. 

UPDATE (10/23/9:15 p.m.): The repairs to the water line near Southwood Valley Elementary have been completed, and water service has been restored. We appreciate your patience and understanding during the outage.

A water line leak on Olympia Way Tuesday afternoon left 150 units out of water in the Sutter’s Mill Condos. Unfortunately, the water line was deeper than expected, making excavation more dangerous, especially in extremely wet soil. The repair work will resume early Wednesday.
