Plumbing in Potosi, TX

Potosi at a glance

Potosi is a growing community of 3,947 people (2020) along FM 1750, about nine miles south of Abilene.

What that means for your plumbing

Most homes are newer houses in subdivisions on larger lots, many on septic. Water heaters and septic lines are common needs; see water heaters. Septic systems are common, and lines from house to tank can sag in clay soil.

Spread-out lots

Long runs of pipe from meter to house can leak underground unnoticed. Larger lots mean longer irrigation systems with more backflow preventers to protect in winter.

Named for San Luis Potosi

The Pollard family were the first settlers in the 1870s, and in 1893 R.A. Pollard applied for a post office and named it after the Mexican city of San Luis Potosi. The community shrank to about 20 people in the 1950s, then grew quickly from the late 1980s, reaching 1,441 by 1992, with subdivisions such as Deerwood and Pack Saddle Prairie along FM 1750. Long service lines here are worth a leak check; see slab leak detection. Wylie schools serve the area, and the families moving into new subdivisions here keep plumbers busy with new installs.
