Ann Arbor’s water: what the city’s own report says
About 85% of Ann Arbor’s water comes from the Huron River and the rest from city wells south of town. Because both sources are hard, the city softens the water with lime at its treatment plant. In 2025 the finished water averaged 126 mg/L of hardness, about 7.4 grains per gallon, and ranged from 4.3 to 10.5 grains over the year.
| Source water | About 85% Huron River, 15% city wells south of Ann Arbor |
| Softening at the plant | Yes, lime softening |
| Hardness, 2025 average | 126 mg/L, about 7.4 grains per gallon (range 4.3–10.5) |
| Disinfection | Ozone and UV light at the plant; chloramine in the pipes |
| PFAS | Granular activated carbon filtration; the PFAS compounds tested for compliance were not detected in 2025 |
| Sodium, 2025 average | 71 mg/L |
| City water questions | City of Ann Arbor, (734) 794-6426 |
On the U.S. Geological Survey’s scale, 126 mg/L sits just over the line from moderately hard into hard. That is still far softer than the groundwater around it: the City of Dexter’s wells, just up the Huron River, averaged 339 mg/L (about 20 grains) in 2025.

Start with the water at your Ann Arbor home
Tell Kyle whether your home uses a private well or a public water supply, what concerns you have noticed, and whether treatment equipment is already installed. If you have a recent utility report or laboratory result, keep it available for the visit.
Free in-home testing
Kyle checks hardness, iron, pH, chlorine, and total dissolved solids (TDS) to help guide equipment recommendations.
Equipment for your needs
Your measured water conditions, household water use, plumbing, and installation space help determine the proposed system.
A clear installation plan
Review the exact equipment, installation work, schedule, ongoing care, and written warranty terms with Kyle before proceeding.
The free visit is not a comprehensive contaminant or drinking-water safety test. Concerns about bacteria, PFAS, nitrate, arsenic, or lead need appropriate testing; consult your local health department or a certified laboratory.
Installed starting prices
These are approximate starting prices confirmed by Kyle. Your quote depends on your water, selected equipment, and installation requirements.
Water softener
From about $2,000
A system selected for measured hardness and household water use. Ask about the Clack® control, tank size, salt requirements, and routine care.
Iron filtration
From about $2,100
Iron filtration selected for your test results. This price is for the iron system only; a softener is a separate system.
Reverse osmosis
From about $900
An under-sink drinking-water system. Check the proposed model’s certified reduction claims and filter replacement requirements.

Ann Arbor water-treatment questions
How do I know whether I need a water softener?
Start with measured hardness and your household’s needs. A softener addresses hardness; other water concerns may need a different treatment approach. Kyle’s free test helps guide that discussion.
Will a softener also address iron or sulfur odor?
Separate filtration may be appropriate. Tell Kyle about the symptoms, review your water results, and confirm the proposed equipment’s specifications before selecting a system.
How soon can testing or installation be scheduled?
Call Kyle for current availability in Ann Arbor. Installation time depends on the equipment and plumbing work needed, and can be discussed when preparing your quote.
How should I prepare for the visit?
Have your existing water reports and equipment details available, and note where and when you notice problems. Confirm any sampling preparation instructions with Kyle when scheduling.
What will a drinking-water filter reduce?
Check the exact model’s certified reduction claims and performance information for the contaminants you want to address. NSF explains how to check water-treatment claims.
