Water Quality in Albuquerque: What All Residents Should Know | Good Water Company

Do you know what is in your water? At no cost, Good Water Company will test water quality for Albuquerque residents. What you can’t see can hurt you. Let us show you what’s in your water!

Where Does Albuquerque Water Come From and How is it Treated?

Albuquerque residents drink water from two main sources: groundwater and river water. Depending on where your water originates, some Albuquerque wells have a high arsenic concentration and the water is processed through an arsenic treatment plant. Other area water sources are disinfected by the addition of chlorine and then piped directly to Albuquerque homes and businesses. Unfortunately, local water utility treatment does not eliminate everything that can impact your health and your home. Water Quality Albuquerque.

The Hard News About Hard Water

Hard water creates a multitude of problems. If you have experienced any of the following, you should have the Good Water Company test the hardness of your water:

• Does the bar of soap in the shower seem to magically dissolve?

• Do you have soap scum building up around the bathtub and on the shower walls?

• Do your freshly washed dishes have spots and streaks?

• Do you have dry skin and hair?

Hard water is an expensive problem. Not only does it require you to use more detergent, but hard water also reduces the life of your appliances. Deposits build up, clogging pipes over time. Water Quality Albuquerque

Even with a solid knowledge of the water table Albuquerque property owners will find such adulterants in their drinking water and plumbing without proper filtering. Our whole house water filters are tailored for each house they serve, connecting directly to the main water line. Water Quality Albuquerque.
