FAQ
Additional Information On Milford, DE Tap Water
Is Milford tap water safe to drink?
Yes. Milford drinking water meets federal and state drinking water standards. The system monitors for regulated contaminants and reports compliance results as part of routine testing.
Is Milford tap water hard?
Hardness can vary by groundwater conditions and distribution. If you’re seeing scale on fixtures, cloudy glassware, or reduced soap lather, a quick in-home water test can confirm hardness and show whether a softener would help.
Is there PFAS in Milford tap water?
PFAS results are not always listed in standard regulated contaminant tables. If you want PFAS-specific results, request PFAS monitoring information from the local utility or use certified point-of-use filtration (like reverse osmosis) for drinking water.
Does Milford tap water have fluoride?
Yes. Fluoride is present, and the reported high level is 2.2 ppm (with a range up to 2.2 ppm), which is below the EPA maximum contaminant level of 4.0 ppm.
Where does Milford get its tap water?
Milford’s water supply is groundwater drawn from confined aquifers, including the Federalsburg, Frederica, Milford, and Upper Choptank aquifers.
How is Milford water treated?
The water is disinfected to control microbes and is monitored throughout the system. Many utilities also use corrosion control practices to help reduce the chance of metals leaching from household plumbing.
Does Milford water have chlorine?
Yes. Chlorine is used to control microbes. The reported highest level is 1.5 ppm (range 0.6–1.5 ppm), below the MRDL of 4.0 ppm.
Were coliform bacteria found in Milford’s water?
The regulated bacteria monitoring shows one total-coliform positive in the year, zero E. coli or fecal coliform positives, and no violation reported.
Are there disinfection byproducts (TTHMs / HAA5) in Milford water?
Yes. Disinfection byproducts can form when disinfectants interact with natural organic material in water:
- HAA5: highest 8 ppb, range 4–13 ppb (MCL 60 ppb)
- TTHMs: highest 23 ppb, range 9–37 ppb (MCL 80 ppb)
Is there lead in Milford tap water?
Lead typically comes from home plumbing materials, not the source groundwater. If you have an older home or you’re concerned, using a certified filter for lead at the tap and flushing the line before drinking can help reduce exposure.
What about copper levels in Milford?
Copper is monitored under the Lead and Copper Rule. The reported 90th percentile copper result is 0.1 ppm, with 0 sites above the action level of 1.3 ppm.
What secondary (aesthetic) water quality results are reported in Milford?
Secondary (non-enforceable) standards relate to taste, staining, and general water feel. Milford reports:
- Alkalinity: avg 162 ppm (range 160–176)
- Chloride: avg 6 ppm (range 1–10)
- Manganese: avg 28 ppb (range 18–38)
- Sodium: avg 22 ppm (range 9–42)
- Sulfate: avg 3 ppm (range 1–7)
What does the source water assessment say about susceptibility?
The system’s susceptibility summary notes very high susceptibility for metals and strong susceptibility ratings for a range of contaminants (including pathogens and other inorganic compounds). This is one reason utilities maintain regular monitoring and treatment.
Do I need a water softener or filter in Milford?
Many Milford homeowners choose added treatment for day-to-day comfort and appliance protection. A water softener helps reduce mineral-related buildup, while drinking water filtration (including reverse osmosis) can improve taste and reduce a broader range of trace compounds at the kitchen sink.

Testimonials
Why Do Milford, Delaware
Homeowners LOVE Us?
We were tired of water spots on glassware and scale around faucets. After getting a system installed, the water feels cleaner and our dishes come out clearer. The team was friendly and explained everything without pressure.
We wanted to protect our water heater and fixtures and cut down on mineral buildup. The softener has made a real difference, and the install was smooth from start to finish.
We added a reverse osmosis system for drinking and cooking water and it’s been a solid upgrade. Coffee tastes better, ice is clearer, and we’re using fewer bottled drinks overall.
