EMERGENCIES AND NOTICES

In case of an emergency, such as a burst pipe, quickly close the main water shut-off valve to prevent costly flood damage. Your main water shut-off valve controls all of the water coming into your house. It’s often located near the water meter, inside the water meter pit. 

We make every effort to avoid inconveniencing our customers with water shutoffs, but sometimes these circumstances are out of our control. We don’t know when a water main might break or when electricity may go out at your water plant. If you did not receive a notice of planned temporary service interruption, a disconnection notice for non-pay and little or no water is running from your tap, contact our 24-Hour Dispatch Department at 281-398-8211 immediately for assistance. 

You can obtain information by calling our 24-hour Dispatch Department at 281-398-8211, visit our website www.inframark.com and our Inframark Facebook Page for up-to-date information. 

It’s a notification that advises residents to boil their tap water used for consumption (drinking, cooking, etc. ), because their water may be contaminated. A Boil Water Notice is in effect until laboratory results show that water is safe from bacterial contamination. The tests usually take 24 hours to complete. Bathing, washing clothes or dishes and other activities where water is used externally, should not pose a health risk. 

  • Odors 
  • Drain P-Trap: Any plumbing fixture in your home should be equipped with a p-trap; this includes sinks, bathtubs, and washers. These traps form a barrier of water that prevent sewer gases from entering the home. If these traps are dried out or empty, you may notice a rotten egg smell in the area. A good practice is to run water periodically on areas not frequently used to maintain the water seal. 
  • Water Heater: Sometimes the hot water may have a rotten egg odor which is generally produced by bacteria growth in the Water Heater. Setting the Water Heater to the manufacture’s recommended temperature setting will correct the issue by preventing the bacterial growth. It is also recommended to flush the Water Heater periodically to remove any sediment in the tank. 
  • Other Issues: Should you experience any unusual smells or odors in your water please contact our 24 hour dispatch at (281) 398-8211. 
  • Discoloration 
  • Cloudy Water: If you leave a glass with the cloudy water on the counter and it clears in a short time, the cloudiness is caused by air that got into the water system. 
  • Yellow Water: This can be caused by sediment of oxidized iron in the pipes. This is unsightly but not harmful to use and can be remediated by flushing the main pipes. 
  • Other Issues: Should you experience any unusual discoloration in your water please contact our 24 hour dispatch at (281) 398-8211. 
  • Before you call to report drainage issues, check the below items for the following: 
  • Toilet: Is only one toilet not flushing, or are multiple toilets in the home experiencing the issue? Are the toilets making a gurgling sound? 
  • Sink: Is one sink not draining, or are other areas stopped up? Are the drains making a gurgling sound? 
  • If only one fixture is not draining, it is an internal issue. However, if there are multiple areas not draining, it could be an issue with the main district lines. 
  • In this case, please call Inframark Dispatch at (281) 398-8211.
