WATER PROFILE

What the water means for the glass

Evansville Water and Sewer Utility delivers water to Evansville from surface (lake/reservoir) at 130 mg/L (CaCO₃). That is hard for a US municipal supply. On Evansville glass that residency means visible spotting on dark glazing over extended dry-down and noticeable lower-sash residue over the working year. The local operating practice is a citric finish-rinse on long-residence glass and standard squeegee-and-scrim technique elsewhere.

Mid-March through May is the heaviest booking pressure of the year. Pollen wave drives the residential surge. April through early May is the peak production rate for Indianapolis residential.

SUMMER

June through August is the production window. Mild July-August humidity squeeze. Storm activity occasional but does not generally shut down work.

FALL

September through early November is the cleanest production stretch. Agricultural-drift residue from harvest activity peaks late September through October.

WINTER

Late November through February is mostly interior-only for residential and light-commercial work. Northwest Indiana sees more lake-effect-snow disruption than central Indiana. Commercial interior work is the off-season backbone.
