Local notes for homeowners
If you own an older house here, check for the original water service size. Some early homes have a half-inch line from the street, which limits flow once more bathrooms are added.
Renters should report slow leaks early. A small drip under a sink can damage a cabinet and the unit below in a few months.
What callers want to know

Yes, for units and for building owners, coordinating with management on shut-offs.
My older Cooksville house has weak taps. Why?
