When will my autodraft (ACH) be effective after signing up?
After signing up for ACH, it will become effective on the next month’s billing cycle.

What is the difference between "hard" and "soft" water?
Hardness is a term used to describe the high level of calcium and magnesium in the water. Excessive hardness can cause scale (white deposits) to be deposited on boilers, pipelines, faucet aerators and shower heads. Hard water also requires the use of large amounts of laundry soap to achieve the desired results. Soft water is either water that is low in calcium or magnesium or water that has been treated with a softener.
I live in The Preserve/Friso Ranch and our water is soft. Does Frisco West WCIDDC use a softener?
No – the District does not add softeners to the water. The water provided to The Preserve & Frisco Ranch is ground water that is pumped directly from an aquifer right below the neighborhood!
If you would like to know more about what is in the water, please review the CCR (Consumer Confidence Report). For any questions pertaining to the water quality, please contact Jason Cork (District water operator) at 214-773-6013 or fill out an online form here
What are the causes of white residue buildup?
The two most common causes of white residue on dishes and household plumbing fixtures are water hardness or problems with home water heaters. Hardness in water is made up primarily of two elements: calcium and magnesium.
Both naturally exist in groundwater and surface water supplies. Periods of low precipitation can cause hardness levels to increase for short periods of time. These levels usually decrease after rainfall or snowmelt due to dilution in the raw water sources.
Calcium is a silver-gray mineral that changes to white when it interacts with water and accumulates on metallic surfaces, like faucets and drains. Limited amounts of calcium are found in most household water sources
Mineral deposits can leave white residue on bathroom and kitchen faucets. Salt, sodium
Lime deposits are often found in conjunction with calcium deposits on
How can I determine if the residue is the result of water hardness or my hot water tank?
Collect some of the white flakes and try dissolving them in vinegar. If the material is calcium carbonate (hardness) it will foam and dissolve when it comes into contact with the vinegar. If the material does not dissolve, the problem might be the result of a faulty dip tube in your hot water heater.
In addition, dip tube particles will float while hard water mineral buildup will usually sink. White particles, which are calcium carbonate, can also be easily crushed into a powder when rubbed between your fingers. Particles that are present due to dip tube problems will not crush when subjected to moderate pressure.

Frisco West WCIDDC Board Meeting: Tuesday May 21, 2019 by Devon Kaemmerling | May 17, 2019 | Board Meeting Agenda, Frisco West Board Meeting | 0 comments The boa...New Water Billing System Update
Good Afternoon Neighbors! Over the past few weeks our new water billing system has been rolling out. Just a friendly reminder bills are due on the 20th of the month (as always). If you are on bank drafted payments you do NOT need to do anything else. Some of you have noticed that there is an option to sign up for “reoccurring payments.” This is for credit card payments ONLY. Please do not sign up for this if you are already signed up for Bank drafts because the money will be pulled twice. If you are on Bank Draft but prefer to pay through reoccurring credit card payments, contact our water department. Please be advised, that paying by card will incur a service fee, whereas bank draft payments do not have any service fees associated with them. Also, if you are on bank draft payments and you received an email stating that your bill is due soon, you can disregard it. Bank Draft pulls the money the day the bill is due. If you want to sign up for ACH (Bank Draft) you must fill out the form and being a voided check to the office. As always, you can still pay by check or money order in the by mail, in the drop box (located by the Frisco Ranch Pool), or in person at our temporary office location on 380.
Thanks!
Frisco West
