What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Water quality and pressure issues are impacting appliances in McKinney. The city purchases treated surface water from the North Texas Municipal Water District, which contains dissolved minerals that form scale when heated. Furthermore, the district uses chloramines for disinfection, which can be hard on certain rubber parts of appliances.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The presence of dissolved minerals and chloramines increases the risk of premature failure for appliances like water heaters. This risk is heightened in McKinney because many homes have water heaters installed in attics, increasing the potential for water damage if a tank fails.
