Chestermere purchases treated drinking water from Calgary. The lake and the drinking-water supply are different systems.
Understanding your local water
Chestermere purchases treated drinking water from Calgary. The lake and the drinking-water supply are different systems.
The supplier’s hardness results show that dissolved hardness can be relevant to scale, soap performance and appliance care. Use a test at your home to choose softener capacity and settings; an annual average or regional sample is not an equipment sizing measurement.
The upstream utility uses chlorine for disinfection. If your goal is to improve taste or odour, compare filtration with a specific chlorine-reduction claim and a suitable flow rating. A water softener addresses hardness; it does not replace that filtration stage.
These records give Chestermere residents a way to investigate their supplier’s water. Keep the sample location, date, units and result type together when comparing numbers. Local distribution conditions, plumbing and private wells require separate assessment.
LiveSmart water-quality summary
This page includes the available dated public measurements below. Hardness is shown in grains per gallon where the source provides enough information to report or convert it. Parameters not present in the published source should not be interpreted as zero.
Conversions of the published hardness results retained on this page. Each row keeps its sample or supply context; these are not additional tests or a single current community average.

City of Calgary · Bearspaw 2025 report ↗These are dated public results for the locations shown, not a current test of your home. “<” means below the stated reporting limit, not zero. The linked reports contain the full results and laboratory notes. Sources checked September 13, 2026. Follow your supplier’s current notices and advisories.
No. The location in each table identifies where the utility sampled. Regional results provide context for a connected home, but do not establish the result at your tap.
The supplier’s hardness results show that dissolved hardness can be relevant to scale, soap performance and appliance care. Use a test at your home to choose softener capacity and settings; an annual average or regional sample is not an equipment sizing measurement.
Confirm the source before using these tables. A private well needs its own water analysis; regional municipal results do not describe it.

A LiveSmart recommendation for every home
LiveSmart recommends a HydroPure reverse-osmosis drinking-water system in every home for cleaner, better-tasting water used for drinking, coffee, cooking and ice. Municipal treatment protects the public supply; point-of-use RO provides an additional treatment step at the kitchen tap. Reduction claims depend on the verified system configuration, certification and proper maintenance.
Recommended for every home. Final configuration is selected for the household and verified against the water at the tap.
Explore HydroPure RO ↗When testing confirms hardness, disinfectant taste or odour, iron, manganese, sediment or microbiological concerns, LiveSmart can add the appropriate SoftFlow, CarbonShield, IronShield or UV Guard treatment.
Explore treatment options ↗Community results are a starting point. Household demand, flow, available space and plumbing are checked before equipment is sized and built.
