Is Municipal Water Safe to Drink?
Our city sources 80% of its water from the American River and the Sacramento River, and 20% from groundwater wells. While municipal water is generally safe to drink, it may also contain a number of contaminants, such as arsenic, nitrates, bacteria, and disinfection byproducts (DBPs).
Water treatment can enhance water quality and add an extra layer of protection. Whether you want to filter out trace contaminants or remove a chlorine taste or odor, we can recommend a suitable option to improve the taste, clarity, and safety of your drinking water.

Common Water Treatment Options
At Bud's Plumbing, Heating, & Air, we offer a variety of water treatment options to accommodate your property, preferences, and budget.
Reach out today to learn how our water treatment experts can assist with:
Whole-Home Water Filtration
Enjoy fresh, filtered water from every tap with whole-home water filtration. A whole-house system is installed on your main water line and treats every drop of water as it enters your home, resulting in comprehensive coverage and peace of mind.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
Reverse osmosis forces water through a semipermeable membrane to leave impurities behind. These point-of-use systems are usually installed under a sink or tap and are effective at removing chlorine, nitrates, arsenic, lead, and other dissolved solids.
Water Softeners
Water softening systems are ideal for addressing hard water issues, such as scale buildup, low water pressure, and dry skin and hair. They remove calcium and magnesium through a process called ion exchange, resulting in softer water and appliance protection.
Ultraviolet (UV) Purifiers
UV purifiers use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in your water supply. They are often used in conjunction with other filtration systems to provide comprehensive water treatment.
Benefits of Professional Water Treatment
Investing in water treatment offers numerous benefits, such as:
- Improved water quality. Treating water can remove unwanted contaminants, sediment, chlorine, and other impurities.
- Health protection. Treated water promotes better health by reducing exposure to bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and chemicals.
- Reduced hardness. Water softeners can protect your plumbing, skin, and hair from the damaging effects of hard water.
- Improved taste and odor. Water treatment produces fresh-tasting, odor-free water for drinking, cooking, and other essential tasks.
- Peace of mind. We offer professional assessments and installations to provide long-term protection.

Does Sacramento Have Hard Water?
Our region is known for its hard water, which contains high levels of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, this can contribute to corrosion, plumbing damage, reduced appliance lifespans, increased energy costs, and visible staining on dishes, glassware, and fixtures.
At Bud's Plumbing, Heating, & Air, we are familiar with local water quality issues and offer top-quality softening systems to provide softer, purer water. We also provide flushing and water heater maintenance to protect your pipes and keep everything flowing smoothly.
Should I Be Concerned About Forever Chemicals in My Drinking Water?
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals," are synthetic chemicals that do not naturally break down. PFAS exposure has been linked to health issues like cancer, elevated cholesterol levels, and developmental delays in children.
While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized new limits for PFAS levels, public water systems are not required to disclose PFAS levels to the public until 2027. This means that even public water systems that meet state and federal requirements may still contain PFAS.
Forever chemicals have been detected in Sacramento County at levels that exceed the health limits issued by the EPA. If you’re concerned about PFAS in your drinking water, don’t hesitate to give us a call at (916) 741-6799. We can assess your water and recommend targeted solutions to protect your health.
