Panorama Park is the smallest of the five communities named on Iowa American Water's Quad Cities water quality sheet, and until 2002 it had a water system of its own. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System lists Panorama Park Water Supply, PWSID IA8268001, administered by the City of Panorama Park and serving 131 people through 50 connections on water bought from Iowa American. It was deactivated on 19 June 2002. What reaches Panorama Park taps now is Mississippi River water disinfected with chloramines, at a published 7.9 to 20.4 grains of hardness.
We repair and maintain the softeners, filters and reverse osmosis units already installed in Panorama Park homes, including brands we did not sell. We also install new water softeners, whole-home filtration and reverse osmosis drinking-water systems, and for acreages on a private well we build complete well systems. Every installation is carried out by licensed local plumbing professionals we vet, schedule, and stand behind.
The first visit is a free in-home water test at your kitchen sink covering hardness, iron and total dissolved solids. Travel is free for the first 50 miles and $1 a mile beyond that, and you see that number before you agree to anything. Book the free in-home water test or get a figure from the instant quote. If a unit has stopped softening, the softener repair guide explains what usually fails.
| Panorama Park at a glance | What the record shows |
|---|---|
| Who supplies the water | Iowa American Water, Quad Cities District, PWSID IA8222001, serving 147,720 people in EPA SDWIS. The city-administered Panorama Park Water Supply, IA8268001, was deactivated on 19 June 2002. |
| Where it comes from | Mississippi River water treated at Iowa American Water's East River Station, per the Quad Cities Typical Water Quality sheet. |
| Softened at the plant? | No. EPA SDWIS lists 26 treatment records for IA8222001, including granular activated carbon, ultraviolet and chloramines, and none of them is softening. |
| Published hardness | 136–350 mg/L as CaCO3 (7.9–20.4 grains per gallon) on Iowa American Water's Quad Cities Typical Water Quality sheet, 2019 data, which names Panorama Park in its area served. |
The federal file on Panorama Park Water Supply is small, like the town. SDWIS lists it as a community water system on purchased surface water, owned by local government, with the City of Panorama Park as administrator and 50 service connections serving 131 people. Its facility list contains no well and no treatment plant. It had a distribution system, a sampling station, and a single source: a connection from Iowa American Water's Davenport system.
All of those facilities were closed out in SDWIS on 1 June 2002, and the system was deactivated on 19 June. Iowa American Water's own facility inventory still carries a line reading “CC TO PANORAMA PARK, IA8268001”, marked inactive. Its 2019 Quad Cities sheet lists Panorama Park by name in the district's area served.
EPA's records list no active water system of Panorama Park's own today. For a Panorama Park household, the useful consequence is that the town's published water record is the Quad Cities District's record, and that record is unusually detailed for a place of 142 residents.
Iowa American's Quad Cities sheet gives the type of disinfection as chloramines, with an average residual of 2.7 to 3.4 mg/L leaving the treatment plant and 1.0 to 3.8 mg/L in the distribution system, against a maximum residual disinfectant level of 4.0 mg/L as a running annual average. Chloramines also appear in the plant's EPA SDWIS treatment records.
EPA describes chloramines as most commonly formed when ammonia is added to chlorine, and notes that they give longer-lasting disinfection as water moves through the pipes. That staying power is the part worth knowing at home. If you keep fish, or anyone in the house is on home dialysis, tell your pet store or your dialysis provider that the water is chloraminated so they can advise on treating it.
For taste and smell, the filter media matters. Standard carbon is slow against chloramine; catalytic carbon is the media class made for it. That is worth asking about before you choose a whole-home filter, and we will tell you plainly what a given filter is and is not rated to do. A softener, on its own, is not a chloramine filter.
Hardness is the figure people ask about, but the same two pages carry several health-related results, all 2019 data and all below their limits. Nitrate is listed at 2.9 mg/L against a maximum contaminant level of 10. Atrazine is 0.8 µg/L against a limit of 3. The 90th percentile lead result is 1 µg/L against an action level of 15, and the 90th percentile copper result is 0.102 mg/L against an action level of 1.3. Fluoride runs 0.6 to 1.0 mg/L. The sheet points readers to Iowa American Water's full annual Water Quality Report for complete results.
Two plain caveats. A water system's lead result describes the samples it collected, not the plumbing inside any one house, so if lead is your concern the answer is a certified lab test at your own tap. And our free in-home test does not cover lead, nitrate, bacteria, arsenic or PFAS; it measures hardness, iron and total dissolved solids. Our reverse osmosis systems are certified to NSF/ANSI 58 for total dissolved solids only, so we do not sell them as a lead or nitrate fix. The Quad Cities reverse osmosis guide covers what that certification does mean.
All prices include the equipment, installation, taxes and a lifetime parts warranty.
A maintenance plan is $199 a year with tank RO or $249 a year with tankless RO. Service is $199 for a diagnostic call, or $99 plus the part when the problem is already known. Ask about 0% financing, and $100 off for military and first responders.
None of the Iowa American figures apply to a private well. If you are on one, the Scott County Health Department is the place to start: it permits private well construction in the county, samples private wells at no cost for residents who rely on them as their primary water source under Iowa's Grants to Counties program, and can reimburse part of the cost of plugging an unused well or rehabilitating an older one. It recommends testing for coliform bacteria and nitrate every year. Call 563-326-8618.
Once the lab says the water is safe, our free test adds hardness, iron and total dissolved solids, and we build the system from both results. UV is available as a supplemental NSF/ANSI 55 Class B unit for water that has already tested safe; it is not a treatment for a contaminated well.
Hardness, chloramine taste, a softener that no longer keeps up: each has a different fix, and a reading at your own sink tells us which one you are dealing with. We come to you, test for free, and leave a written all-in quote with no obligation. Book the free in-home water test, use the instant quote, or call or text 319-319-6566.

No. EPA SDWIS lists Panorama Park Water Supply, PWSID IA8268001, as deactivated on 19 June 2002. It was a city-administered system serving 131 people through 50 connections on water bought from Iowa American Water. Panorama Park is now named in the area served on Iowa American's Quad Cities Typical Water Quality sheet.
Yes. Iowa American Water's Quad Cities sheet lists chloramines as the disinfectant, at 2.7 to 3.4 mg/L leaving the plant and 1.0 to 3.8 mg/L in the distribution system. Chloramine is made to last in the pipes, so aquarium owners should ask a pet store about treating chloraminated water, and home dialysis patients should let their provider know.
Iowa American Water publishes 136 to 350 mg/L as calcium carbonate, or 7.9 to 20.4 grains per gallon, for the Quad Cities District (2019 data). The U.S. Geological Survey calls 121 to 180 mg/L hard and anything above 180 mg/L very hard, and the water is not softened at the plant.
No. A softener exchanges the minerals that cause hardness; it is not built to remove chloramine. Taste and smell from chloramine are a carbon question, and catalytic carbon is the media class designed for it. We can explain what each filter is rated to do before you decide.
Yes, including brands we did not sell. A diagnostic service call is $199, and a trip for a known issue is $99 plus the part. Maintenance plans are $199 a year for a home with tank RO or $249 a year with tankless RO, and new installs are done by licensed local plumbing professionals we vet, schedule, and stand behind.
