Water treatment in Richmond

Water softeners and filtration in Richmond, BC.

Whole-home carbon filtration and reverse osmosis for Richmond homes, scoped after a free consultation and quoted in writing.

Richmond buys its water from Metro Vancouver, and the City's 2024 report says most of it comes from the Seymour and Capilano reservoirs. It reaches homes through 636 km of watermain. We’re preparing to serve homes in Richmond. Tell us your location during your consultation so we can confirm availability for your address before arranging work.

Richmond's 2024 water results

The City collects samples every week at 40 dedicated sites, and all 2,046 samples taken in 2024 passed. Richmond also reports total water use down 14% since 2003 while its population grew 34%. What is left to decide at your tap is taste and drinking water.

From there you get one recommendation for your home and one written price, before anything is ordered.
