Common Plumbing Problems in Mount Pleasant Homes
Mount Pleasant Waterworks pumps water from 6 wells about 2,000 feet deep and treats it at 4 reverse osmosis plants. It has also bought water from Charleston Water System since 1997, now about 5.5 million gallons a day.
The median Mount Pleasant home was built in 2000.
Two Kinds of Water in One System
Depending on where you live and the day's demand, your tap may carry reverse osmosis water from the deep wells, Charleston surface water or a blend. Both are low in hardness, so a softener is rarely needed. If water tastes slightly different from week to week, the blend has shifted; it is not your plumbing.
