City Water Treatment for Southeast Wisconsin Homes
City water is treated for safety, but it still carries hardness minerals, chlorine taste, and concerns like PFAS. We start with a free in-home water test, then design a solution that matches your water quality, home size, and budget. Enjoy cleaner-tasting water, longer-lasting appliances, and less cleaning time with help from Water Doctors.
What’s in City Tap Water?
City tap water meets basic safety standards, but it still carries hardness minerals, chlorine or chloramine, and emerging contaminants like PFAS, lead from older pipes, and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals that treatment plants are not designed to remove. Curious what’s in your own water? Enter your ZIP code in the EWG Tap Water Database to see the exact test results for your area, then schedule a free in-home water test with Water Doctors to confirm and fix the issues you care about most.

Wisconsin Water Hardness Levels by City
Use this chart to see how your city’s tap water stacks up on the Water Quality Association hardness scale. Soft water measures 0 to 1 grain per gallon, while many Wisconsin cities fall in the very-hard range of 7 to 10 grains or higher. Check where your city lands, then schedule a free in-home water test to confirm your exact hardness level and learn how we can protect your appliances and plumbing.
Frequently Asked Questions
City water is treated for safety, not hardness. Most supplies in Southeast Wisconsin measure 7 to 20 grains per gallon, which still leaves scale on fixtures and shortens the life of appliances, water heaters, and plumbing. A home softener removes those minerals, reduces soap and detergent use, and helps protect your equipment. We start with a free in-home water test so you know exactly where your water stands.
Every home is different, so we give prices after a free in-home water test and inspection. Your cost depends on water hardness, household size, and any additional filters or features you choose. We do not believe in one size fits all. Prefer predictable costs? We also offer rental plans with low monthly payments. Schedule your free test and we’ll give you an exact quote before you decide, no surprises, no pressure.

That silky feel is your skin without soap residue. In hard water, soap reacts with minerals and leaves a film that feels “squeaky.” Soft water rinses clean, so you notice the natural smoothness instead.
