Understanding Your Water

The Waterloo region faces unique water challenges that affect your home, health, and comfort

Hard Water

Our region's water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, causing scale buildup on fixtures, reducing appliance lifespan, and leaving spots on dishes and glassware.

Contaminants

While municipal water is treated, it can still contain chlorine, sediment, and trace contaminants that affect taste, odor, and potentially your health over time.

Well Water Issues

Rural properties with well water often face additional challenges including iron, sulfur, manganese, and bacteria that require specialized treatment solutions.
