Beneath the surface
Lake Ramsey · PWS ID LA1103139 · 2025 water quality report
The Complete Home package: whole-home carbon for the chlorine at every tap, plus reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink for drinking water, ice, and spot-free glasses at that tap. A certified lead-reduction filter goes on the drinking water tap, because of what the public report shows. Lake Ramsey tests soft, so no softener goes in.
Get my written plan and priceYour water arrives with chlorine in it, at 0.7 parts per million. That is the disinfectant Lake Ramsey uses, and it is the taste people notice in coffee, in ice, and in the first glass of the day. Carbon takes it out at every tap in the house.
The hardness here is 1.5 milligrams per liter, about 0.1 grains. That is soft water by any measure, so a softener would have almost nothing to work on and we leave it out of the plan.
The water here is groundwater, pumped from Well Lake Ramsay. The published report for this system carries a lead result: one sample tested above the federal action level. We put it on this page because it is in the public record and you should know it is there. Certified lead-reduction filtration at the drinking water tap is the piece that addresses it.
Tell us your address and we pull the report for the system that actually serves it, then put the recommendation and the price in writing before any work starts. A licensed plumber does the install.
