Water in Cedar Creek

Soft water from Aqua Water Supply Corporation, and wells for some

An unincorporated community in Bastrop County

Cedar Creek is in Bastrop County, about 11 miles west of Bastrop, at the junction of State Highway 21 and FM 535. It is unincorporated, so it has no city water department. Aqua Water Supply Corporation distributes water outside the Elgin and Bastrop city limits in the county, and a water-data listing for the Cedar Creek area names it as the supplier. Some homes may sit on a different district or a private well, so your own bill or well records settle the question.

If you are on Aqua WSC, the same listing shows groundwater with a reported hardness of about 3 grains per gallon from a 2024 figure, which falls in the soft range, within a reported span from about 1 to 3 grains. Treat it as a rough guide for the supplier, not a reading at your tap.

Water supply at a glance

What soft water changes for your plumbing

Soft water does not leave the thick scale that hard water does, so aerators stay open, and tank heaters gather less deposit. Most trouble comes from wear instead: washers harden, flappers warp and anodes dissolve. Soft water is also mild on glass and fixtures, though some people find it slippery on the skin.

If taste or smell is the complaint rather than scale, water filtration is the page to read. For the heater itself, water heater repair and the how long water heaters last guide cover repair and replacement. A softener is rarely the answer here, but if you are on a well with harder water, the water softener installation page explains the options.

Faucets run clearAerators stay open longer when water is soft.

What soft water does and does not change.

Drains and septic

Septic systems, and who to ask about yours

Which system does your lot use?

There is no city sewer office here, and a home that is not on a sewer connection uses an on-site septic system, which Bastrop County regulates. Which one your lot has depends on the property, so ask Bastrop County rather than assuming.

Septic changes how you use drains. Grease, wipes, coffee grounds and harsh chemicals disturb the tank. Slow drains throughout the house, gurgling, odors outdoors or a soggy yard over the drain field are signs to call. A sewer camera inspection looks inside the house line, and hydro jetting clears buildup in that pipe. For a failed line between the house and the tank, see sewer line repair.

Slow drains on septic

Pause water use
Stop laundry and long showers until the cause is clear.
Look at the yard
Note any wet, green or smelly ground.
Find the cleanout
Know where the access cap is.
Call and describe
Say which drains are slow and what the ground looks like.

A sensible order when drains slow down.

One slow drain tends to be a trap or branch line. The how to unclog a drain guide covers what to try first, and a stubborn fixture goes under clogged drain. Sewage inside the house is an emergency, so keep everyone back and phone.

Water lines and wells

Water lines, pumps and pressure tanks on open ground

Long runs and buried pipe

Rural lots mean long supply runs from a meter or well to the house. A leak in a buried line shows up as a wet strip, a bill that climbs or a pump that never stops. Close every tap and watch the meter. If it moves, water is escaping. The guide to finding a water leak shows how to narrow it down before you call.

Homes on a well add a pump, a pressure tank and a switch. A tank that has lost its air cushion makes the pump cycle on and off quickly, and a failing switch can leave you with no water at all. Tell the plumber what you hear.

Yard and pump signs

Sign	Likely cause	Page

Reading the clues

Texas weather

Hot summers wear hose bibs, irrigation fittings and attic or garage plumbing. Now and then a hard freeze splits exposed spigots and attic runs. Know where your main shutoff is, and read the main valve guide before you need it. If a pipe has split, burst pipe repair is the page for it.

When a pipe bursts

Close the main valve first. Next, cut power to wet rooms only when you can reach the panel dry-footed. Move belongings up and call.

Questions

Questions from Cedar Creek callers

Who supplies water in Cedar Creek?

Aqua Water Supply Corporation distributes water outside the Elgin and Bastrop city limits and is listed for the Cedar Creek area. Some homes may be on a different district or a private well, so check your monthly bill to see who sends yours.

Is Cedar Creek water hard or soft?

A 2024 listing for the Aqua WSC supply shows soft groundwater, around 3 grains per gallon at the top of its reported range. That is a supplier figure, not a reading at your tap. Wells vary. Ask the supplier or test your well.

How do I find a plumber in Cedar Creek, TX on a Sunday?

Call the number on this page, which is answered every day including Sundays and holidays. Share your road, what broke and whether it is still running. Same-day service is available, and floods and backups are scheduled first.

Do Cedar Creek homes use septic?

It depends on the lot. A home without a sewer connection uses an on-site septic system, which Bastrop County regulates. Ask the county about yours, and tell the plumber what you find.

What does a plumber in Cedar Creek charge?

Nothing here is priced. Costs shift with distance and access, the type of water and drain system, the size of the repair, water damage and parts. Raise the question when you call, and keep the checklist details close.

Why do quotes for one repair vary between plumbers?

The jobs being priced can differ. A fitting patch costs less than replacing a section, and drying may be listed or left out. Ask each plumber what is included. The guide to choosing a plumber has a question list.

Has Aqua WSC asked customers to cut back on water?

Aqua WSC has declared stage 2 drought response for rural Bastrop County and asked customers to limit irrigation and pool use. Stages change, so check the supplier’s website for what is in effect now.

My well pump keeps cycling. What is wrong?

Frequent short cycles usually mean the pressure tank has lost its air cushion, or a pressure switch is failing. Turn off the pump if it will not stop, and call. The low water pressure page lists other causes.

A pipe has split in my house. What do I do first?

Turn off the main valve. Turn off power in wet areas only when the breaker panel is dry. Move belongings up and out of the water, then call. Keep your distance from outlets and plugged-in appliances while water stands.

What if I smell gas?

Walk out immediately and take everyone with you. Do not flip a switch, strike a match or use a phone inside. Call from outdoors. The signs of a gas leak guide describes what to watch and listen for.

Do hard freezes damage pipes in Cedar Creek?

Occasionally. A hard freeze can split exposed hose bibs, attic lines and garage plumbing. Unhook hoses beforehand, know your main shutoff and look for drips after a freeze ends.

Will you find a road with no numbered address?

Rural properties are covered. Offer the road, the nearest crossroad and a landmark. The dispatcher asks follow-up questions until the spot is clear.
