Culligan of Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia's water is generally considered moderately hard. According to the Philadelphia Water Department, the rivers supplying the city's drinking water naturally contain calcium, while lime added during treatment to control pH can slightly increase hardness. Water hardness varies throughout the surrounding suburbs, where communities in Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, and Delaware counties may rely on different utilities or private wells. A free in-home water test from Culligan of Philadelphia can measure the hardness of your tap water.

Yes. The Philadelphia Water Department adds a phosphate-based corrosion inhibitor to its drinking water to help reduce pipe corrosion and prevent lead and copper from leaching into household water. This treatment is part of the city's efforts to comply with federal and state drinking water regulations. However, older homes may still have lead service lines or plumbing fixtures that contain lead. Testing your water at the tap is the most reliable way to determine whether lead is present. Culligan of Philadelphia can send a water sample to Culligan's Illinois EPA-certified laboratory for lead testing.

The Philadelphia Water Department regularly submits water quality test results to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to demonstrate compliance with federal and state drinking water standards. The department also establishes internal water quality goals that are stricter than regulatory requirements. However, many homeowners choose additional water treatment to address specific concerns. Water can pick up lead from older plumbing after leaving the treatment plant, and PFAS are a growing concern throughout the region. Homes that rely on private wells are not treated or monitored by public water utilities. A free water test from Culligan of Philadelphia can help identify common water quality concerns at your tap.

Fluoride practices vary by water utility, so the answer depends on your water provider. Your utility's annual Water Quality Report, also known as a Consumer Confidence Report, identifies whether fluoride is added and at what concentration. Homes that rely on private wells may contain naturally occurring fluoride. Some drinking water filtration systems can reduce fluoride, but performance varies by model. Ask your Culligan of Philadelphia water expert for specific performance information about any system you're considering.
