The phone has been ringing today! It turns out that a City of Austin pressure reducing station failed some time last night. One of our customers had 175lb water pressure in his house! From a plumbers perspective, that's pretty scary. The City of Austin Water, and Wastewater tells us that the problem is isolated to the Lakewood - Cat Mountian area (North East between 2222, and 360) If you are in this area, give us a call, and we will get a plumber out and make sure everything is ok. So far we have encountered damaged toilets, shower valves, water heater T&P valves (temperature, and pressure relief valves), and home owner shut-off valves.
P.S. If you see one of our plumbing trucks, flag them down. They will be happy to help you!
