@newkwmom: This has been mentioned on here before.  Apparently some sections of Kingwood have this problem.  Call the city of Houston Water Dept to report it.  They will send someone to flush the main lines in that area.  It sounds like they have leaks in some of the mains and their short-term response is just to flush the pipes.  I don't know if they plan to address the permanent fixes.

@Retired_Engineer: I know they'd never do it because of money issues but with the problem areas they need to either CIPP the lines or slipline the pipe with HDPE.

@WskyTngoFxtrt:  Agreed!  We had to CIPP some old vitrified clay drainage lines and it was a fraction of the cost of digging and repairing/replacing.What people don't realize is that the soil at each leak point is getting eroded away.  My guess is that the city of Houston won't take action until one or more sink-holes appear.

it happens because the city has a habit of turning off water in locations. When they turn it back on, your water is brown. I have a water filtration system installed in my house which helps. If you want info,, PM me and I will give you the info,, and get me a referral. 4951
