Kind water for every tap in your Iowa City home.
Iowa City softens its water at the plant, and the city’s own 2025 report says it still reaches your tap at about 5 to 8 grains — a little hard, not a crisis, so here is what that means for your home, with honest all-in prices.
What’s really coming out of your tap?
Most homes deal with all three at once — and you can’t see any of them.
Chlorine & Chemicals
City water is chlorinated to kill bacteria — often more than a swimming pool. It irritates skin, eyes, and lungs, and leaves a taste and smell.
