Is Pittsville tap water hard?
Pittsville’s water is not reported as hard in the annual testing results. Some residents may notice mineral-related taste or staining tied to iron, which is considered a secondary (aesthetic) contaminant rather than a health concern.

Pittsville’s drinking water comes from two groundwater wells drawing from the Pocomoke aquifer. The wells are approximately 115 feet deep and are located at the town’s Water Treatment Facility on Gumboro Road.

Homeowners LOVE Us?
We had some concerns about chlorine taste and occasional discoloration. After getting a system installed, the water tastes cleaner and looks clearer. The install was smooth and well explained.
We were dealing with staining and mineral residue on fixtures. The difference after installation was immediate, and our showers feel better overall. Scheduling was easy and the technician was very thorough.
We added filtration at the kitchen sink and noticed an improvement right away. Coffee tastes better, and we’re using fewer bottled drinks. Very happy with the service.
