What to Know About Kokomo, IN Water Quality

Living in Kokomo, Indiana, you may have noticed hard water stains, dry skin, or an odd taste or smell coming from your tap. Whether you’re on city water or a private well, water quality in Kokomo varies—and it can affect your health, plumbing, and appliances. At Culligan of Kokomo, we’re here to help you understand your water and treat it effectively.
Common Water Quality Problems in the Kokomo Area
The water supply in Kokomo primarily comes from groundwater wells, and while it’s treated by the city, that doesn’t always mean it’s perfect. Here are the most common water issues we see:
- Hard Water: Kokomo’s water is considered very hard, which leads to mineral buildup, cloudy dishes, and dry skin and hair.
- Chlorine Taste & Odor: Municipal water is disinfected with chlorine, but that can leave behind a chemical taste and odor in your drinking water.
- PFAS (Forever Chemicals): Like many areas in Indiana, Kokomo has raised concerns about PFAS, a group of man-made chemicals linked to health risks.
- Iron & Rust Stains: Homes on well water may see orange or red staining caused by high iron levels.
- Lead & Aging Pipes: Older homes in Kokomo may have corroded plumbing, which can leach lead or other metals into the water supply.
