Understanding Waterloo's Water

Your Guide to Local Water Quality Challenges

Waterloo's water supply comes from both groundwater wells and the Grand River. While the Region of Waterloo maintains strict safety standards, our local water presents unique challenges for homeowners:

  • Extremely Hard Water: At 20-36 gpg (grains per gallon), Waterloo's water ranks among the hardest in Ontario, far exceeding the 7 gpg threshold for hard water
  • Mixed Source Treatment: Our dual water source system requires intensive chlorine treatment, affecting taste and potentially irritating skin and hair
  • Variable Quality: Water hardness and mineral content can vary significantly between neighborhoods due to different well sources

Common Water Issues in Waterloo Homes
