Plumber in Lakewood Village, TX

A town that runs its own water and sewer

Lakewood Village is a small peninsula town on Lewisville Lake, with 635 residents and 242 housing units at the 2020 census. It is also one of the few places we serve where the Town itself produces the water and treats the wastewater. The Town’s utility services page says every home must connect to Town water and private wells are not permitted. The Town also runs municipal wastewater treatment, so nobody here has a well to maintain.

Know where your pipe stops being the Town’s

The same utility page splits responsibility at the meter and at the main. You maintain the water line from the meter to your house, and the sewer line from your house to the Town’s main. A leak in the yard on the house side of the meter is yours to fix, and so is a root-clogged or settled stretch of the sewer lateral. If you are not sure which side of the line a problem is on, call us and we will help you work it out. Our work on your side includes sewer line repair and leak and burst pipe repair. For Town-side problems, the Town lists an after-hours utility line at (972) 292-0812.

Well water from three aquifers

Lakewood Village draws groundwater from three wells on Highridge Drive. The Town’s 2025 water quality report names the Woodbine, Paluxy and Twin Mountains sources, and notes that Woodbine water may carry iron and Twin Mountains water may carry manganese. The Town’s water quality page puts total dissolved solids at roughly 800 to 900 mg/L, under the state’s 1,000 mg/L secondary guideline, and tells residents to expect some scale and a mineral taste.

The 2025 report from the Town puts the average chlorine residual at 1.08 mg/L, within a range of 0.21 to 2.36. The Town also says a $5 million water and sewer upgrade, with a new well and expanded storage, began in 2022. Whatever the Town does at the wells, the condition of the plumbing inside your home decides how that water behaves at your tap.

That is a very different water profile than the surface-water towns around you, and it shows up in the house:

• White crust on fixtures and spotted glass: dissolved minerals left behind as water evaporates.
• Sediment in the water heater tank: minerals settle out when water is heated, which can mean popping noises and a shorter tank life.
• Orange or dark staining in tubs and toilets: consistent with iron or manganese.

The Town’s published pages do not give a hardness number in grains per gallon, so we would rather test than guess. A water quality test tells you what your tap is doing before you decide on a water softener or filter.

Propane is part of the picture

The city-data housing profile shows about 70.5 percent of homes heating with electricity, 25.7 percent with bottled or LP gas, and only 3.8 percent with utility gas. With a quarter of homes on LP gas, propane tanks and regulators sit outside the Town system, and gas appliances depend on a private tank. If you smell gas, leave the house, then call your propane supplier or 911 from outside. For regulator, tank-side, or appliance connection work, see gas line repair.

Seven subdivisions, two eras

The Town’s resident essentials page names The Village, The Shores, The Arbors, The Enclave, Northshore, South Oak and Rocky Point. Development began in 1958 and the first home went up in 1969, so the town has houses from the 1970s alongside new builds such as Northshore, on third-acre homesites. Median year built is 2003.

Two public water systems serve the town: Lakewood Village and South Oak, and Rocky Point. The Town’s 2025 report lists no lead service lines. Older homes tend to need fixture and supply work, and homes from around the median year are now on their second round of water heaters, so a water heater call is common here.

Lake level and clay

A foundation contractor, Stratum Foundation Repair, describes lake-area ground as Blackland-type clay over the Woodbine Formation, and clay moves as moisture changes. Your lot may differ. The Town’s home page showed the lake at 518.55 feet on October 3, 2026, against a 522-foot conservation pool. When slabs shift, plumbing under them can crack. Warm spots on the floor, a rising water bill, or doors that start to stick are the signs to call about. We can start with leak detection.

Tank water heaters in a mineral-rich supply benefit from regular attention. Flushing the tank clears sediment before it hardens on the bottom, and checking the anode rod catches corrosion early. If your heater is making popping sounds, our preventative water heater maintenance page explains what is involved.

Permits

The Town’s residential permit guidelines say plumbing alterations, water heaters, and water and sewer line repairs require a permit. Replacing a faucet does not. When your job needs a permit, we pull it.
