New Florence Water Filtration & Treatment
Custom-Engineered Solutions for River Borough Properties
New Florence is a historic borough along the Conemaugh River in Westmoreland County, with roots dating to 1854. This small community of about 700 residents sits where the Conemaugh River joins with Loyalhanna Creek. We test your specific water chemistry and engineer treatment for your exact conditions.
Historic River Borough
New Florence was laid out in 1854 along the Pennsylvania Railroad and named for Florence, Italy. The borough sits at the confluence of the Conemaugh River and Loyalhanna Creek, creating the Kiskiminetas River. This strategic location made it an important railroad and industrial community.
Today, New Florence is a quiet residential borough bordered by St. Clair Township. The river valley location influences water quality for both municipal and well water users. Testing identifies what treatment your specific water needs.

New Florence Water Quality Challenges
River valley location and historic development create specific water quality concerns.
Iron & Manganese
River valley wells often contain elevated iron and manganese causing rust-colored staining. Our Custom-Designed whole-house filtration removes these minerals completely.
Hard Water
Hard water is common in the Conemaugh Valley, causing scale buildup in water heaters, soap scum, and appliance wear. Water softening resolves these issues.
Chlorine Taste
Municipal water treatment uses chlorine for disinfection. While safe, many prefer to remove the taste and odor. Carbon filtration addresses this effectively.
Older Plumbing
Many New Florence homes date to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Older plumbing may contribute galvanized pipe residue or lead solder concerns.
Well Bacteria
Properties outside borough water service rely on wells. Penn State research shows many PA wells have contamination. UV disinfection provides protection.
River Proximity
Properties near the confluence may experience water quality variations, especially after high water events. Testing identifies specific impacts.

New Florence Water FAQs
Who provides water service in New Florence?
New Florence Borough provides municipal water service within borough limits. Properties in surrounding St. Clair Township may have different providers or private wells. Your water bill indicates your source.
Is New Florence water hard?
Yes, water in the Conemaugh Valley typically has moderate to high hardness. This causes scale in water heaters, reduces soap efficiency, and leaves spots on dishes. Water softening addresses these issues.
My home is very old. Should I be concerned?
Older homes (pre-1986) may have galvanized pipes or lead solder that can affect water quality. Point-of-use filtration at drinking water taps provides an additional layer of protection.
How often should I test my well water?
Annual bacteria testing is recommended. Every 2-3 years, test a broader panel. Test immediately after flooding, nearby construction, or if you notice changes in taste, odor, or appearance.
What warranty do you offer?
We offer up to 10-year warranties on qualified systems (terms apply). Commercial-grade components like Fleck and Clack valves are built for long-term reliability.
