Lubbock Water Quality Overview
Lubbock’s water comes from two kinds of sources. According to City of Lubbock water quality reports, roughly 60 to 70 percent is groundwater from the Ogallala Aquifer, pumped from the Roberts County and Bailey County well fields. The rest is surface water from Lake Alan Henry and Lake Meredith, delivered through the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority. The mix shifts from year to year, so the water at your tap can change too. City of Lubbock Water Utilities reports average hardness at approximately 205 mg/L, or 12 grains per gallon, which the U.S. Geological Survey rates as very hard.
City reports describe water as it leaves the treatment system. They do not describe what your home’s plumbing adds, and they do not cover private wells. A test at your tap shows your real numbers.
What Water Treatment Services Are Available in Lubbock, TX?
Water treatment starts with testing and covers filtration, well water treatment, contaminant removal, reverse osmosis, UV purification and drinking water systems.
Water Conditioner Installation
Water conditioner installation treats scale without removing hardness minerals, using salt-free conditioners, potassium chloride softeners and scale inhibitors.
Water Filtration Systems
Water filtration systems remove sediment, chlorine, taste and odor. Options include whole-house filters, under-sink filters, shower filters and multi-stage systems.
Water Quality Testing
Water quality testing measures hardness, total dissolved solids, iron, pH, chlorine, sulfur and heavy metals, for both city and well water.
Reverse Osmosis Installation
Reverse osmosis installation adds a membrane system that removes dissolved solids for drinking and cooking water.
UV Water Purification
UV water purification uses ultraviolet light to inactivate bacteria and viruses, which matters most for private wells.
Drinking Water Systems
Drinking water systems include under-sink and countertop units, alkaline systems and bottleless coolers.
Well Water Treatment
Well water softener installation combines softening with iron, hydrogen sulfide and sediment filters for private wells.
Water Contaminant Removal
Water contaminant removal targets specific concerns such as lead, arsenic, chloramine, fluoride, PFAS, nitrate and volatile organic compounds.
Where should you start with water treatment?
Start with a water test. A test shows hardness, dissolved solids and any contaminant of concern, and it decides whether you need a softener, a filter, a purifier or a combination. Hard water is the most common Lubbock problem, so many homes begin with a water softener system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a water softener, a filter or both?
A softener removes hardness minerals, and a filter removes particles, chlorine, taste and odor. They solve different problems, so many Lubbock homes use both. A water test shows which your water needs.
Is Lubbock tap water safe to drink?
City of Lubbock water quality reports list test results for regulated substances. For results at your own tap, a home test checks what the city report cannot, such as your plumbing’s contribution.
Does well water in the Lubbock area need different treatment?
Yes. Private wells are not covered by city reports and can carry iron, sulfur, nitrate or bacteria. Testing comes first, then the right mix of softener, filter and UV.
Is a free water test really free?
