New Orleans Water Systems can help you with common water problems.
A variety of factors can affect how water tastes, smells and feels. That’s why we test your water before we recommend how to treat it properly. Some of the water problems that we commonly see and treat include hard water, iron, manganese, rotten egg smell and chlorine taste and smell.

Hard Water Hard water dries out skin and makes hair brittle. It causes soap scum in tubs and showers and spots on faucets and fixtures. It also causes scaling (off-white, chalky deposits) in appliances, which results in less efficiency and costly repairs.
