Over the years, experience has indicated that water meters are extremely reliable and rarely fail. So, if your utility bill is unusually high, the problem will generally lie with either water usage or LEAKS.

During significant weather-related emergencies that result in multiple landslides and/or water, drainage, sewer or electrical outage problems, the City may activate the Storm-Slide Citizen Resource number at (206) 684-3355. Staff at this number may provide updates and answer questions during weather-related emergencies.

The walking surface is typically 8" (20.32 cm) above the water. This will vary depending upon the amount of weight placed on your dock. The Connect-A-Dock comes in the color of Gray Oak. This color reflects sunlight and maintains a safe temperature when coming in contact with bare skin. This polyethylene dock has a UV protectant and the color is permanent.

If you obtain your drinking water from a public municipal source, as 70% of U.S. residents do, you can contact your local government office to obtain a water report. This report will provide you with the level of arsenic in your water. If it is below 10 parts per billion, it falls within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's standard for the contaminant. However, the EPA has also recognized that the desired maximum contaminant level (MCL) for arsenic is 0 parts per billion.

Once established, lawns are not high water users. This is a misconception. If dry times are experienced, most lawns will survive on natural rainfall.

If you believe there is a discrepancy in your bill, please call (618) 251-3133 to request a serviceman to re-check your meter. There is a possibility that your meter was misread or your have a water leak.

There may be several reasons that your usage could be unusually high. The first thing to check is a leaking toilet or other plumbing fixtures. The other reasons could be due to excessive lawn water, during summer or it is possible the meter was misread. If you have any questions regarding usage please contact the Water Department's Billing Personnel and we will gladly check your reading.

Where a hedge fund applies a high water mark to an investor's money, this means that the manager will only receive performance fees, on that particular pool of invested money, when its value is greater than its previous greatest value. Should the investment drop in value then the manager must bring it back above the previous greatest value before they can receive performance fees again.

If the water table is likely to rise a foot or more above the base level of a buried tank, the tank must be anchored down against possible floating up when the tank is drained. (See suggested anchoring details) Dirt cover and water in the tank will of course help keep the tank in place.

Consecutive estimated readings followed by an accurate reading. (If your water usage was under estimated and your consumption for previous billing periods was higher, you may see an increase in your current water bill.)

If during soil testing it is determined that the water table is high (less than 5’ below the surface) the engineer would be required to design a mounded system under conventional means. What this means is that the “zone of treatment”, the layers of gravel and sand where all the effluent will be filtered cannot be sitting in the water table. The conventional septic system’s entire zone of treatment is approx. 7’ deep and MUST sit above the water table.

Contact our office, and we will check the water pressure at the meter. If the pressure at the meter checks okay, then that indicates the cause of the water pressure is between the meter and your home. Our staff will be glad to discuss our findings with you.

The plumbing code requires a pressure reducing valve (PRV) if your water pressure is over 80 psi. If one was not installed, you will need to have one installed at your cost. A backflow preventer installed at your water meter or inside your building may cause periodic high pressure since this causes you to have what is known as a "closed system". As the hot water heater heats the water, it expands.

The high-water line is at 1,229 feet above sea level. At this elevation, the water would be more than 7 1/2 feet over the top of the raised spillway gates, which are at elevation 1,221.4 feet. All lands below elevation 1,250 have been retained for reservoir purposes.

High blood sugar levels can develop slowly, gradually climbing a little each month, especially if you are gaining weight. They may also develop quickly by eating a meal or snack high in carbohydrates, not exercising, forgetting your medicine or becoming ill. There are often observable symptoms when blood sugar is too high. Thirst and hunger often increase, you may become sleepy or tired and urinate more frequently. Infections are more common, wounds don't heal and your vision may become blurred.

The walking surface is typically 17" (43.18 cm) above the water. This will vary depending upon the amount of weight placed on your dock.

Yes. We should start drinking ionized alkaline water at the lowest level and slowly work our way up, since we spent most of our lives accumulating acid waste within our bodies. ionized alkaline water from a Water ionizer has different levels of intensity. If the average person immediately drinks strongly ionized alkaline water, he could suffer headaches or diarrhea due to the water's strong detoxification quality.

What if I told you tap water and homogenized milk may be two of the biggest culprits in skyrocketing rates of high cholesterol? Cholesterol is actually being produced by our own bodies all of the time as a natural mechanism to combat oxidation... Have you checked your cholestrol level recently? If not, you should consider doing it. Too many people currently have high levels of cholesterol. Are you among those? If your answer is 'yes', then a low cholesterol diet, like for example a..
