Understanding Cambridge's Water

Your Guide to Local Water Quality Challenges

Cambridge's water system draws from a combination of deep groundwater wells and the Grand River system. While the Region of Waterloo ensures water safety, Cambridge residents face distinct water quality challenges:

  • Severe Hard Water: At 25-36 gpg (grains per gallon), Cambridge's water is exceptionally hard, causing significant scale buildup and appliance strain
  • Area-Specific Issues: Different neighborhoods (Galt, Preston, Hespeler) experience varying levels of hardness and mineral content due to diverse well sources
  • Heavy Treatment: Enhanced chlorination and treatment processes, while ensuring safety, can affect water taste and quality of life

Common Water Issues in Cambridge Homes

Household Effects

Cambridge Insight: Our local water's high mineral content is particularly damaging to modern, high-efficiency appliances, which often have narrower water passages prone to scale buildup.
