What should Utah County well and city water be tested for?
City water: hardness, chlorine, and lead from home plumbing. Well water: add bacteria, nitrates, iron, and total dissolved solids. Testing first means you only buy treatment your water actually needs.
How hard is the water in Utah County?
USGS classifies water above 180 mg/L as very hard, and much of Utah County runs past that mark, often 10.5+ grains per gallon. That level scales appliances, spots glass, and shortens water heater life.

What does a water test measure?
Our standard tap test measures hardness (GPG), total dissolved solids (TDS), chlorine residual, and pH, the four numbers that size softeners and filtration correctly. Certified lab panels go further when the situation calls for it: bacteria, nitrates, lead, iron, and arsenic, with wells as the most common reason.
Why test at the tap instead of trusting the city report?
Your city’s Consumer Confidence Report describes water leaving the treatment plant; your tap adds whatever the distribution system and your own plumbing contribute. Older galvanized service lines, for instance, change iron and clarity readings house by house. Testing where you drink is the only number worth sizing equipment from.
What happens after the test?
You get the numbers and what they mean, no mystery. Hardness above 7 GPG (the EPA-cited “hard” threshold) makes a softener worth pricing; taste and odor findings point to filtration; drinking-water concerns point to reverse osmosis. If the water is fine, we say so. Well owners should test annually per Utah Division of Drinking Water guidance.
