We have distinct water problems in Northeastern Indiana. Most municipal supplies are extremely hard and many have high levels of chlorine. Some areas also have objectionable taste and odor.
If you have a private or community well system, your problems can be more widespread. Most wells have considerable hardness and high levels of iron. Some also contain dissolved gases such as hydrogen sulfide and methane, tannins, nitrates, arsenic, high levels of total dissolved solids and other problems.

We have distinct water problems in Northeastern Indiana. Most municipal supplies are extremely hard and many have high levels of chlorine. Some areas also have objectionable taste and odor.
If you have a private or community well system, your problems can be more widespread. Most wells have considerable hardness and high levels of iron. Some also contain dissolved gases such as hydrogen sulfide and methane, tannins, nitrates, arsenic, high levels of total dissolved solids and other problems.
Water Problem : Dissolved Gases
Dissolved gases can cause cloudiness and bad odors in water. They can also cause pipes to hammer and spitting of gas and water when a faucet is opened. Methane gas is odorless and occurs naturally along with contamination from underground natural gas storage facilities. Hydrogen sulfide gas smells like rotten eggs and is caused by bacterial living in underground aquifers. Dissolved gases in water can be aggressive to piping systems and cause wear on valves, seats, and washers.
Water Problem : Tannins
Tannins make water look yellow or brownish in color. They cause staining on clothes and fixtures and makes the water look murky and unclear. Tannins are composed of tiny pieces of organic material floating in the water and are typically caused by decomposing vegetation, getting into water supplies.
Water Problem : Nitrates
Nitrate (NO3) is a naturally occurring form of nitrogen (N) which is very mobile in water. It is essential for planet growth and is often added to soil to improve productivity, Water moving down through soil after rainfall or irrigation carries dissolved nitrate with it to ground water. In this way, nitrate enters the water supplies of many homeowners who use wells or springs. Drinking water high in nitrate is potentially harmful to human and animal health.
Water Problem : Arsenic
Arsenic is an odorless, tasteless heavy metal. It is naturally occurring in the environment and is a by-product of agricultural and industrial activities. Human exposure to arsenic can cause both short and long-term health effects. Shor or acute effects can occur within hours or days of exposure. Long-term exposure has been linked to cancer of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidneys, nasal passages, liver and prostate.
Water Problem : Bacteria
Different types of organic matter can cause your water to taste bad, often fishy or earthy.
Bacteria in water can take many forms and the best way to know the type present is to have your water professionally tested. A common symptom of bacteria is slime build up in the toilet tank.
Water Problem : Total Dissolved Solids
Total dissolved solids can cause unpleasant taste in water and cause water to act aggressively towards fixtures and appliances. The higher the dissolved solid content, the more objectionable the taste and the more aggressive it acts. Some water supplies are so high in mineral content they taste salty, almost like sea water. These supplies can corrode faucets and water heaters in very short periods of time.
Water Problem : Chlorine
Chlorine can make water smell and taste bad. Chlorine is a powerful oxidant and is commonly used as a disinfectant in commercial and household sanitation, bleaching, and in maintaining swimming pools. The most significant application is in the disinfection of public water supplies where it used to manage bacteria levels in drinking water and kill other potentially harmful agents that seep into lakes, rivers, streams or ground water.
Water Problem : Hard Water
Hard water is created when water passed through rock formations picks up calcium and magnesium. Hard water is easy to spot: it leaves a bathtub ring made up of hardness minerals and soap. This scum collects on shower walls, clings to hair, clogs skin pores and makes house cleaning extremely difficult. Hard water deposits also clog pipes, cause water heaters to operate inefficiently, and increase the maintenance on water using appliances.
Water Problem : Iron
Iron water is created when water passes through iron-bearing rocks. Because iron accounts for 5% of the earth's crust, it can be found in just about all types of water supplies. It can also be caused, usually temporarily, by water standing in iron pipes. Iron has the tendency to leave stains on sinks, clothing and linens, or it can form scale on pipe and water using appliances that make water look, smell and taste bad.
Water Problem : Rotten Egg Smell
As water passes through aquifers, that contain hydrogen sulfide, some of this gas mixes with the water, the levels of which can change regularly due to rainfall and barometric pressure. Typically the odor will be most detectable at first draw in the morning and most prevalent at the faucet highest from ground level in your home. In extreme cases, it can be corrosive and cause black staining and you may occasionally see small black flakes.
