Published water-quality measurements.

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.

Reported water-quality numbers.

The figures below are the City of Lethbridge Water Treatment Plant’s published March 2026 Water Quality Summary. The distribution-system summary is shown separately. These are dated public results, not a current test of every Lethbridge home.

Reported hardness: 158 mg/L, approximately 9.2 grains per US gallon. The grain figure is a conversion of the published hardness result, not an additional measurement.

The < symbol means the result was reported below the stated limit; it does not mean zero. The chloramines result is not a free-chlorine measurement. Local disinfectant residuals can differ from supplier results. Hardness in grains per US gallon is calculated from the reported mg/L value using 17.118 mg/L per grain per US gallon.

Official sources

Use community and supplier reports as a starting point. LiveSmart checks the water at the home and the household’s demand, plumbing and flow before recommending or programming treatment equipment.

From the public supply to your tap

Make the information
useful for your home.

Bring the report for your actual supplier and tell us what you notice: scale, staining, taste, odour or a concern with existing equipment. We connect the available information with an assessment at your property.

  • Confirm the sourceCheck the supplier on your utility account or identify the private well. Nearby properties can use different water systems.
  • Ask for the right recordsLook for the latest drinking-water analysis and the sample location. A treatment-plant result and a distribution-system result describe different points.
  • Plan around your householdWater chemistry, daily demand, flow, plumbing and service access shape the equipment recommendation.

A LiveSmart recommendation for every home

Better drinking water starts with HydroPure RO.

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.

HydroPure RO

Recommended for every home. Final configuration is selected for the household and verified against the water at the tap.

Whole-home treatment

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.
