City water measured, township wells tamed
Water Softener Installation in Easton
Easton sits where the Lehigh meets the Delaware, and most of the city drinks treated river water from the Easton Suburban Water Authority — real hardness, but usually more moderate than the limestone wells west of the city. Palmer, Forks, and the townships are a different story. Either way, the decision starts with one measured number at your tap, and the test is free.
Hardness in Easton depends heavily on your address. On ESWA city supply — College Hill, the West Ward, South Side, Downtown — readings tend toward the moderate end of Lehigh Valley hardness: enough for spots on glasses and film on shower doors, sometimes enough to justify a softener, sometimes not. In Palmer Township, Forks, and the well pockets beyond, limestone groundwater pushes readings up to where scale becomes a running appliance tax. We measure your grains per gallon free, size only from that number, and say so plainly when the honest answer is "you don’t need one." And because much of Easton’s housing predates 1986, the free visit can add a lead check for older plumbing — a different question than hardness, worth answering once.
