Buyers and sellers in Mineral Wells, Texas that have city water need to be aware of some changes that have taken place in the city.   It is important for sellers to know, but it is imperative for the new buyers because they are the ones that will be affected the most. When a buyer purchases a home and goes into the water department to have their water turned on, the water department will then have them pay a $25 fee and the city of Mineral Wells Inspection Department will go out to the home and complete a Residential Certificate of Occupancy Inspection Report.   There are 34 items on the checklist that need to pass inspection.  There are six sections to the inspection:  Structural Standards, Property and Health Standards, Plumbing, Gas Systems, Electrical and HVAC/Mechanical.  Although ...
