what part of houston?
 
we are in the middle of a widescale transition to surface treated water.  this is due to subsidence from ground water pumping.
 
my water used to be around .3ec, 7.7 ph but now its like .5ec and idk what the ph is. there is now more sodium in the water from what im reading

Doesn't most of Houston's water come from Lake Houston or do they still have some surface wells?
