Where your water comes from, per official reports
What a utility report can't tell you about your home
- Water that's only disinfected keeps its natural minerals, so hardness and scale are common things homeowners notice.
- Historic Mount Dora homes may have older plumbing. Rural properties outside city service are often on private wells.
What we check during your free in-home visit
- Hardness and scale on fixtures and water heaters
- Chlorine taste
- Iron staining from irrigation
- Well-water screening for rural properties
An in-home test is a screening, not a certified laboratory analysis or a statement that water is safe to drink. For urgent concerns, follow your utility's official notices or contact your county health department.

Frequently asked questions
Which Clermont report should I read?
If you're east of US 27, read the PWS East data. If you're west of it, read PWS West.
Do you serve Mount Dora?
Yes. Mount Dora is near the outer edge of our usual service area. Call or book online and we'll confirm a visit time.
Why is there so much scale in my shower?
Groundwater that's only disinfected keeps its natural minerals. A free test measures your hardness so a softener can be sized correctly, if you need one.
