Water in Milwaukee is Very Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Milwaukee is 17.1 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the very hard range. This means there’s a lot of calcium and magnesium in the water here — two minerals that can build up over time and leave behind residue in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. This buildup can make things less efficient and even shorten the life of your home’s systems if left unchecked.

Milwaukee, WI Water Sources
A comprehensive investigation by Wisconsin Watch revealed significant drinking water challenges affecting hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin residents, including those in Milwaukee. The study found that 47% of private wells tested statewide contained one or more contaminants exceeding health-based water quality standards, affecting an estimated 940,000 households that rely on private wells for their drinking water.
Milwaukee faces specific water quality concerns related to aging infrastructure and lead contamination. The investigation found that approximately 6,000 homes with lead pipes on municipal water systems could be at risk, with thousands of Milwaukee children diagnosed with lead poisoning each year. Lead can leach from aging pipes and cause brain damage, particularly in children. Additionally, homes built before 1950 are likely to have lead pipes, while those constructed before 1984 may contain lead fixtures or solder.
The report also identified strontium as a concern in southeastern Wisconsin, including the Milwaukee area, where some of the highest concentrations nationwide have been detected. This naturally occurring metal can cause bone and dental problems in children. These findings highlight the importance of water testing, filtration systems, and professional water treatment solutions for Milwaukee homeowners to ensure safe drinking water for their families.

Frequently asked questions
-
Milwaukee’s water measures 17.05 grains per gallon, making it very hard. This excessive mineral content damages hair and skin by reducing soap effectiveness and causing dryness. A water softener removes these harsh minerals, restoring your hair’s natural softness and helping soaps lather better for cleaner, healthier results.
-
One of the biggest benefits of filtering water is to help reduce harmful contaminants, impurities and chemicals, along with unwanted minerals and bacteria. The filtering process can also lead to a better taste and smell, which encourages hydration and wellness.
-
A water softener targets minerals in hard water with an ion exchange process. A water filter focuses on removing contaminants and bacteria, typically by forcing water through some form of barrier to separate the clean water from the unwanted substances.
-
If your water has a strange taste, odor, or discoloration, it might be time to filter it. Other signs include cloudy water, buildup on faucets, or reports of contaminants in your local water supply. The best way to determine whether you need water treatment is to schedule a free water test from our local office in Milwaukee.
-
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.
