What to know about plumbing in Waco
Lake Waco water, treated in stages
Waco's drinking water is 100 percent surface water from Lake Waco. The city treats it with dissolved air flotation to remove algae and suspended solids, then ozone, filtration and chloramine disinfection, and its water quality report lists calcium at roughly 45 mg/L. If your water tastes or smells off, call the city's Water Quality Lab at (254) 750-1662 before buying treatment equipment. Source: City of Waco: Water Quality Report
The pipe past the property line is yours
The City of Waco has inventoried more than 50,000 service lines and says there are no known lead service lines in its system or on the customer side; residents can look up their line on the city's Service Line Material Map. The city owns the line from the water main to the property line, and the property owner is responsible beyond that point. To check your own pipe, scratch it with a flathead screwdriver: copper looks penny-colored, galvanized steel stays dull gray and a magnet sticks to it, while lead turns shiny silver.

It advises pouring fats, oils and grease into a heat-safe container kept in the freezer, scraping plates into the trash and using sink strainers. The city also lists drop-off stations for used cooking oil; call (254) 750-5800 for current locations. Source: City of Waco: Fats, Oils and Grease
