Hard water and your Mesa water heater

Mesa's water is hard, and hard water leaves scale in water heaters and fixtures. In east Mesa the cold tap can also run warm. Heater rumbling or running cold? A plumber can check for scale.

Mesa water and leak questions

Questions Mesa homeowners ask before they get matched.

My Mesa water bill jumped. Is it a leak?

Turn off all water, including irrigation, and watch the meter. If it keeps moving, you could have a leak. Past the meter is yours; the meter box and street are the city's.

What softener setting does Mesa suggest?

The city suggests starting at 16 grains per gallon and adjusting. The City Zone reads lower than the Eastern and Southern Zones, so check your zone in the 2024 report.

Why does my cold water run warm in east Mesa?

The city says groundwater in some areas, especially east Mesa, is naturally warm. If only the cold side runs warm, the heater probably isn't the cause. If hot is weak too, get matched.
