Pearland plumbing questions
How do I know if my Pearland home has a slab leak?

A leak from the tank itself won't stop and usually means replacement; turn off the gas or power and the cold-water valve, then call. Why it comes up in Pearland: Humid garages and year-round use wear out tanks.
Where does Pearland's water come from?
From city wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, water bought from Houston, and the city's surface water plant on the Gulf Coast Water Authority canal.
