Water softener & filtration installation in Salmon Creek, WA.
Salmon Creek, Felida and Hazel Dell sit just north of the Vancouver city limits on Clark Public Utilities water. Moderately hard, lightly chlorinated, and a handful of neighborhoods still on private wells.
Water in Salmon Creek
Clark Public Utilities runs its regional water system from 35 groundwater wells spread across unincorporated Clark County, drawing from four aquifers: the Recent Alluvial, the Troutdale, the deep Sand and Gravel, and fractured basalt. The utility adds only a trace of chlorine to keep the water safe on the way to your house and adds no fluoride. It publishes its test results every year.
On hardness, the 2025 report lists an average of 87 ppm, about 5 grains per gallon: moderately hard. That's enough to leave spots on glasses and slowly scale a water heater, and your street can land above or below the average depending on which wells feed it. The free tap test tells you exactly where you are.
On PFAS, the 2025 report says a backup well, Well 10, showed PFAS below the state action level in November 2025. It runs only during peak summer demand and its water blends with wells that have no detections. Lead tap sampling in 2025 came in at 3 ppb at the 90th percentile, well under the 15 ppb action level.

Reviews from our customers.
Real Google reviews, word for word. Every one so far is five stars.
“Really happy with the service from Genuine Water Co. They installed a water softener and reverse osmosis system in our home. The drinking water tastes great and we’ve noticed fewer water spots in the shower and on our dishes. They showed up on time, answered all of our questions, and did a clean installation.”
“We were tired of dealing with hard water, dry skin, and white buildup on everything. Genuine Water Co installed a whole house water softener for us and it has made a huge difference. Showers feel better, we use less soap, and our faucets stay cleaner. Great work and great customer service.”
“Everything was fast and smooth. From getting a quote to installation. Haven’t had the water filter system for too long but I can see a difference in skin and hair already.”
