Water in Birmingham is Moderately Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Birmingham is 5.4 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the moderately hard range. This means your water contains higher levels of calcium and magnesium minerals that can build up in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures over time. This mineral buildup can reduce efficiency and potentially shorten the lifespan of your home’s water-using systems if not properly addressed.

Birmingham, AL Water Sources
In May 2024, residents across multiple Birmingham-area communities including North Hoover, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham reported experiencing foul-smelling and bad-tasting water. The Birmingham Water Works Board acknowledged these widespread complaints and conducted comprehensive testing to address homeowner concerns about their drinking water quality.
While the Birmingham Water Works Board confirmed that the water met all safety standards for consumption, the taste and odor issues highlighted the ongoing water quality challenges that Birmingham residents face. Similar problems were reported in nearby Walker County, where the Jasper Waterworks and Sewer Board determined that naturally occurring compounds produced by algae and microorganisms in their water source were causing the unpleasant taste and smell. These incidents demonstrate why many Birmingham homeowners seek water treatment solutions to improve the taste, odor, and overall quality of their home’s water supply, even when municipal water meets basic safety requirements.

Frequently asked questions
-
Birmingham’s water averages 5.4 grains per gallon, making it moderately hard. This level of hardness can dry out your hair and skin while reducing soap effectiveness. A water softener removes these excess minerals, helping you achieve better lathers, softer hair, and healthier-looking skin with every wash.
-
Unfiltered water can contain chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants that impact taste, odor, and quality. A water filtration system helps remove these unwanted elements, so every sip, rinse, and wash is cleaner, fresher, and better for your home and health.
-
Water filters and water softeners both help improve water quality by removing certain unwanted materials. Water filters focus on contaminants and chemicals, and often work by forcing water through some kind of barrier to trap debris and allow only cleaner, clearer water to pass through. Water softeners, on the other hand, work more like a magnet, pulling away minerals and impurities that cause hard water.
-
Several signs can indicate the benefit of a water filter, including water that tastes weird or has a bad odor. In addition, scale buildup and shower heads getting clogged easily can indicate the need for a filter. The best way to determine whether you need water treatment is to schedule a free water test from our local office in Birmingham.
-
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a drinking water purification process that helps remove unwanted substances from tap water by pushing water through a special barrier called a semipermeable membrane. This barrier blocks heavy metals (like lead), arsenic, PFAS, chlorine, and chemicals, so only purified water is passed through. The result is water with 99.9% of all contaminants, sediments, and particles removed, making crisper, cleaner, and safer drinking water.
