Water results for Kamloops
Kamloops publishes source, treated and distribution results separately. These tables retain monthly readings, annual statistics and two comprehensive laboratory sampling dates.
Understanding your local water
Start with the treated and distribution results
Source-water tables show what enters the treatment process. For everyday household questions, use the treated-water and named distribution-site results while keeping their dates and locations attached.
Relatively low hardness
The 2024 treated-water annual average hardness was 40 mg/L as calcium carbonate. A softener is not the automatic starting point for this supply. Check actual hardness and identify deposits before selecting equipment.
Chlorine through the distribution system
The report’s annual averages were 1.37 mg/L free chlorine in treated water and 0.85 mg/L across distribution monitoring. The monthly tables show how results vary by location. Carbon filtration may be relevant when the goal is improved chlorine taste.
A dated baseline, not today’s tap result
These are the city’s 2024 annual-report records. They provide a documented baseline; they do not establish current conditions at every home or describe a private well.

Water questions in Kamloops
Does Kamloops need a blanket softener recommendation?
No. The reported hardness is relatively low. Match treatment to a confirmed household concern and a test of the actual supply.
Why are there different chlorine numbers?
The plant and distribution samples describe different locations and reporting periods. The tables preserve both free and total chlorine without treating them as interchangeable.
