On July 7, Frisk had a water meter installed inside her home, like the more than 1,500 homeowners in Dallas, Barnhartvale and Juniper Ridge neighbourhoods who have also done the same under the city's universal water-metering program.
Later that day, her ears began to ring and she felt a prickly sensation all over her body.
Frisk described the feeling as like standing under a high-voltage transmission tower.
"It was really weird," she said.
That night, Frisk hardly slept and, when she awoke the next morning, the ringing in her ears continued.
However, the strange symptoms seemed to disappear when she went to work, only to return when she got home.
Board Of Water Supply Sues Over Broken Meters - KITV (with video)
The lawsuit against Neptune Technology Group said that of 54,000 Neptune meters, 40,000 failed well short of the 10-year guaranty.
"With these Neptune meters in particular, about 70 percent of them have failed," BWS spokeswoman Moani Wright Van Alst said.
A lawsuit said that 40,000 of 54,000 water meters by Neptune Technology Group failed.
Because Neptune is not standing behind its product, the Board of Water Supply is paying thousands in unexpected costs, the lawsuit said.
