Lake Country operates several water systems. Its 2025 annual report provides separate raw-water analyses for six intakes, with markedly different water chemistry.
Understanding your local water
The six raw-water hardness results range from 20.80 to 176.00 mg/L as calcium carbonate. Identify the actual supply system before comparing the data. Raw-water chemistry gives source context and must not be read as a statement about water after treatment.
Confirm the supplier and sample location before comparing the figures. We use the public record alongside testing at your property, household demand and available plumbing to plan treatment and future care.
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.

Results apply to the named supply, date and sample location. A “<” result is below the stated laboratory reporting limit, not zero. Hardness conversions use 1 US GPG = 17.118 mg/L as CaCO₃. Parameters without a reported result remain unverified; a missing value is not a zero reading. Source-water results describe water before treatment. Confirm the water at your home before treatment is selected or programmed.
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.

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.
