Houston draws water from surface reservoirs and the Jasper Aquifer, both of which deliver moderate to high mineral content. Calcium and magnesium deposits accumulate inside water heaters, reducing their efficiency by up to 30 percent over just three years. Scale buildup also clogs showerhead nozzles and faucet aerators, which forces you to open valves wider to achieve adequate flow. This wastes water and accelerates fixture wear. Summer temperatures above 95 degrees drive landscape irrigation demand through the roof, and the city's tiered rate structure penalizes high-volume users with dramatically higher per-gallon charges.
