Canal Winchester Hard Water
How Hard Is Canal Winchester Water?
Canal Winchester draws all of its drinking water from groundwater wells in the Leiberman and High Street well fields, and that groundwater is hard enough that the city runs a 2.0 million gallon per day ion exchange softening plant before the water reaches homes. The most recent water quality report doesn't publish a finished-water hardness level, so hardness at your tap can vary; a free in-home water test is the easiest way to know your number.
Where Can I Get A Water Quality Report?
You can access Canal Winchester's annual Water Quality Report. This is also known as a consumer confidence report, and provides detailed data on the composition of your municipal water annually.

Is Canal Winchester tap water hard?
Canal Winchester's groundwater is hard enough that the city softens it at a 2.0 million gallon per day ion exchange softening plant before distribution. The most recent water quality report doesn't publish a finished-water hardness level, so hardness at your tap can vary, and some homeowners still notice spotting on dishes, reduced soap performance, or scale buildup. A free in-home water test will tell you exactly how hard your water is.
Is there PFAS in Canal Winchester tap water?
Canal Winchester tested for the six regulated PFAS compounds (PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFNA, PFBS, and HFPO-DA, also known as GenX) as part of the EPA's latest PFAS monitoring requirements. According to the most recent water quality report, all samples were non-detect, meaning none of the regulated PFAS compounds were found in the city's finished drinking water.
Does Canal Winchester tap water have fluoride?
Yes. The most recent water quality report shows fluoride at 0.99 ppm, well below the EPA maximum contaminant level of 4.0 ppm.
Where does Canal Winchester get its tap water?
Canal Winchester produces its own drinking water entirely from groundwater wells in the Leiberman Well Field and the High Street Well Field; it does not buy water from another system. The city maintains emergency interconnections with the City of Pickerington and the Village of Lithopolis, but neither connection was needed during the most recent reporting year.
How is Canal Winchester water treated?
Canal Winchester treats its groundwater at a 2.0 million gallon per day ion exchange softening plant to reduce hardness, then disinfects it with chlorine to control microbes. The most recent water quality report shows a total chlorine level of 1.21 ppm, below the 4.0 ppm federal limit.
Do I need a water softener or filter in Canal Winchester?
While Canal Winchester's water meets all applicable drinking water standards, many homeowners choose additional water treatment to reduce chlorine taste and odor, add extra protection from contaminants, and further address hardness at the tap. Depending on your home's water quality goals, a water softener, reverse osmosis system, or whole-house filtration system may provide additional benefits.
How does Canal Winchester monitor water quality?
The City of Canal Winchester samples its water for bacteria, disinfectant levels, disinfection byproducts, lead and copper, and inorganic, radiological, and synthetic and volatile organic contaminants, including arsenic and fluoride. It also completed the EPA's latest PFAS monitoring, and it maintains a well field/drinking water source protection plan for its aquifer.
