Water softener & filtration installation in Washougal, WA.

Washougal is a real mix: city water from two well fields in town, private wells as soon as you head up the hills or out along the river. Well tests out here often turn up iron.

Local water

Water in Washougal

The City of Washougal pumps from six wells in two well fields: the main field on the west end of town at 411 Third Street, next to Camas's Goot Park, and one well in upper Hathaway Park that mostly runs in summer. Together they supply about 600 million gallons a year. The city adds chlorine as a safeguard, then sodium hydroxide to raise the pH and cut down on pipe corrosion.

On PFAS, every result is below Washington's state action levels. The city also says that at least one PFAS result at each of its six wells has come in above the EPA's new 4 parts-per-trillion limit, and it posts each well's numbers on its PFAS page. A reverse osmosis tap is the home fix that addresses it at the sink.

Outside the city system, Washougal is well country, and the well tests we run out here often turn up iron: orange stains in toilets and tubs, rust-colored laundry. Dissolved and particulate iron need different treatment, which is why every well quote starts with a full test.

Softener + filter
“We had Genuine Water Co install a whole home filtration and softener system and noticed a difference right away. Our water tastes much better, our skin doesn’t feel as dry, and we’re no longer getting buildup around the faucets. The installers were friendly, professional, and left everything clean. Definitely recommend them.”

Washougal questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Washougal water hard?
The city doesn't publish a hardness number, so we test it. It's groundwater from the same regional aquifers where Vancouver reports 55 to 130 ppm, so moderately hard is the honest expectation. Well homes often test harder still.
Is there PFAS in Washougal water?
Low levels. Every result is below Washington's state action levels, but the city reports at least one result at each of its six wells above the EPA's new 4 ppt limit. An under-sink reverse osmosis system addresses it at the tap.
My well water leaves orange stains. Can you fix it?
Yes, that's iron, and it's the most common thing we find in Washougal well tests. The right filter depends on how much iron and what form it's in, so the free full test comes first. See well water treatment.
How fast can you install in Washougal?
Usually the same week as your quote. Most installs take about half a day.
