Where we work
Thirty-three towns inside an hour of Waukesha
Waukesha County and the counties around it: Milwaukee, Ozaukee and Washington. Every town below has its own page carrying that town’s utility, source and published hardness. Where nothing is published, it says so.

Where we work
Waukesha County and the suburbs around it
The water changes more between these counties than most people expect, and sometimes inside a single village. Every town page carries that town’s own utility, its source and the hardness that utility publishes, not a regional average.

County
Waukesha County
Twelve towns, and no single number covers them. Brookfield publishes 23 to 34 grains and Hartland about 23 from their own wells; Waukesha and most of Menomonee Falls run about eight on purchased Lake Michigan supply. And the 40,000-plus private wells the county itself counts answer to nobody’s annual report.

County
Milwaukee County
Most of the towns we serve here run on Lake Michigan water. Milwaukee Water Works and the North Shore Water Commission both publish about eight grains, the softest tap water in this market, and Milwaukee’s utility says softeners are not necessary for residential use. So the honest first step is usually a drinking-water tap. Oak Creek and Franklin publish no figure at all, and River Hills is still mostly on private wells.

Cedarburg publishes 21 to 24 grains out of deep wells and says outright that it does not soften, and Grafton’s wells run about 22. The Mequon Water Utility sells Lake Michigan water, about eight grains, to connected homes in Mequon and Thiensville, and most of Mequon is on private wells. Port Washington treats its own lake water and publishes no figure.

Some of the hardest published water in the region and some of the least documented. Germantown publishes 24 grains across six wells, West Bend’s sewer utility gives 25 to 31 as the right softener setting, and Hartford’s own figure is 18 to 22. Richfield has no utility at all: the whole village is on private wells, by the Village Board’s own choice.
Your number
What does your town actually run?
Published figures from each utility’s own reports, or Wisconsin DNR compliance samples where a utility publishes none. Every house still differs, and the only number that decides anything is the one at your tap. But this is the bracket you are starting from.
