Richmond water treatment
Water Softener and Filtration in Richmond, IL
Richmond's official 2025 Consumer Confidence Report identifies groundwater as the public system's drinking-water source and lists Well 2 and Well 3 as groundwater sources. That is useful system-level context, not a test or diagnosis of water at an individual Richmond home. A utility report describes the public system. It is not a reading from one home's tap, where plumbing, fixtures, sample location, and existing treatment can change the experience.

This report does not publish a hardness figure. Ask us to test your water instead of using a guessed number.
This municipal CCR describes the public water system and its reported monitoring. It does not establish water conditions, plumbing materials, contaminants, hardness, compliance, or treatment needs at an individual Richmond home.
