Where Bayside gets its water
Bayside is served by the Mequon Water Utility, reselling North Shore Water Commission supply. Connected properties receive North Shore Lake Michigan water through the Mequon utility. The Village puts the share of homes still on a private well at roughly 15%.
Lake water for connected homes, private wells for most of the rest.
Before the Village’s water-connection programs of 2013 and 2015, Bayside homes were on subdivision and individual wells, and the Village says roughly 15% of homes still have one. Where the village is served through the Mequon utility it receives North Shore Water Commission water, which the Commission publishes at 137 milligrams per liter, about 8 grains per gallon. There is no single figure that covers the whole village.

What Bayside homes usually need
- Free quote by phone
- Installed by a licensed WI plumber
- Softeners retested to zero
$3,950 installed for the ZeroGrain One: softener, activated carbon and the reverse-osmosis drinking tap. Installation by an independent licensed Wisconsin plumbing contractor is in that number, not added to it, and the date is set once the equipment is in hand and approved for use in Wisconsin (SPS 384). What a softener costs explains what the $3,950 includes. Swapping out an old unit is replacing a softener; the drinking tap is reverse osmosis installation.

Questions
Bayside water questions
Anything that is not here, ask it on the call.
Softening removes hardness minerals. It is not a health or safety treatment and we do not market it as one. On a private well, Wisconsin’s state-certified lab tests for bacteria and nitrates are a separate matter and not something we sell.
Subdivision wells are their own category
A shared subdivision well is not a municipal utility and not quite a private well either. Reporting varies, and the practical result is that a Bayside homeowner still on a well has usually never seen a hardness figure for their own water. The call asks for any lab result you already have, and the plumber reads hardness at the tap on install day, before anything is connected.
Which system you are on changes the answer entirely
On North Shore lake supply at about 8 grains, a drinking-water tap usually carries the day. On a well, softening is the main job and iron may want its own stage ahead of it. The quote starts from whichever supply your address is on, and the plumber confirms your number at the tap on install day.
How does the quote work in Bayside?
There is no single published Bayside figure, so we start from your house, not from a catalog: which supply your address is on, the fixtures and what you notice. One short call covers it, at no charge. If what we hear on the call points to softening, we size it from your household and the plumber programs it to the hardness read at your tap; if it points away from softening, the call says so plainly. On install day the plumber reads hardness, iron, pH and TDS at your tap before anything is connected, and on a softener install retests hardness at the end so you watch it read zero.
