Beginning the week of May 8, 2023, the City of Hudson Oaks will be utilizing Fort Worth water. This transition could result in pressure changes and temporary changes in the appearance of the water, as our water operators flush lines, adjust valves and regulate pressure throughout this week. Please call the City of Hudson Oaks if you have questions related to the water pressure or quality, 682-229-2400.
On January 13th, 2023, the City of Hudson Oaks began to transition to chloramine as our water disinfectant. The reasoning for the change is the completion of the Fort Worth water line which will require the City of Hudson Oaks to convert our current chlorine disinfection to chloramine (which is being used by Fort Worth). For more information on chloramine usage, please visit the EPA website here.
