Frisco receives water from the North Texas Municipal Water District, which typically runs a temporary chlorine maintenance period each year. Newer construction means fewer corroded pipes, but issues like PEX fitting failures, water heater replacements as original units age out, and freeze damage to attic plumbing are common.
