Where the water comes from
Danieldale Community Water Service's main water source is purchased surface water. It buys treated water from Dallas Water Utility. The seller treats the water, including corrosion control that keeps lead from dissolving out of pipes, while Danieldale Community Water Service is responsible for its own service line inventory and replacement program.
