Bristol County Water Quality Issues

The vast majority of homes and buildings in Bristol County were built before 1939.  Many of these are over 100 years old along with their supporting water distribution piping!  Regardless of the age of the home, water testing of private wells is always a prudent idea.  Also, some town water supplies may have objectionable water quality characteristics which can be fixed with proper water filtration or water softening systems. 

Bristol County, Massachusetts 

Water quality in Attleboro, Berkley, Dartmouth, Dighton, Freetown, Lakeville, Rehoboth, Rochester, Westport and other Bristol County towns have fairly similar water quality issues.  These include Arsenic in water, Radon, High Iron, Manganese, Low pH and PFAS in water.  PFAS in water has become a fairly recent concern and the only way to determine its existence is by water testing.  However, remediation of these various water quality problems can be achieved with water softeners and other water filtration systems.  Solutions include water softeners, pH neutralization, arsenic specific resin , radon in water removal systems and reverse osmosis purification, among other methods.

Have your water supply tested for contaminants by contacting a H2O Care water treatment professional. If it is a health threat related contaminant such as Arsenic in water, Radon in water, PFAS or other contaminants,  we can help you prepare for lab testing.  A proper sample must be taken in specified containers with holding period and temperature restrictions for some contaminants.  For basic water testing for pH, Iron, Manganese, Hardness, Alkalinity or Total Dissolved Solids, we offer complimentary water testing to Bristol, county residents.  Once test results become available for analysis, we can review them with you.  This will lead to the proper recommendation if a water filtration system or water softener is needed.  There are various types of water filters.  A water treatment professional can explain what is best for your situation.
