Water Challenges Across Westmoreland County
From Greensburg’s municipal system to Ligonier Valley wells — we’ve engineered solutions for every situation in Pennsylvania’s third-largest county.
Iron & Manganese
Westmoreland County’s coal-region geology produces iron levels exceeding 3 ppm in many private wells. Orange staining on fixtures, black specks in water, and metallic taste.
- Orange/rust stains
- Black specks in water
- Metallic taste
- Stained laundry
Sulfur & Rotten Egg Smell
Hydrogen sulfide is common throughout rural Westmoreland County — from Derry Township to Unity. That rotten egg smell makes your water unusable without proper treatment.
- Rotten egg odor
- Corroded plumbing
- Tarnished silverware
- Foul-tasting water
Hard Water Throughout
Whether you’re on Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County water or a private well, hardness levels regularly exceed 200 ppm. Scale destroys water heaters, dishwashers, and pipes.
- White scale buildup
- Dry skin & hair
- Spots on dishes
- Reduced appliance life
Well Water Bacteria
Coliform bacteria is detected in approximately 40% of untreated PA wells. Rural Westmoreland County properties — Derry, Ligonier, Unity — need UV protection and regular testing.
- Coliform contamination
- E. coli risk
- Iron bacteria slime
- Seasonal spikes

Common Questions
Who provides municipal water in Westmoreland County?+
The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC) is the largest provider, serving communities throughout the county. Latrobe, Greensburg, and several boroughs maintain independent systems. Each has different water characteristics.
Why is hard water so common here?+
Westmoreland County sits on limestone bedrock throughout much of its 1,055 square miles. As groundwater moves through these formations, it picks up calcium and magnesium — the minerals that create hard water. Well water hardness regularly exceeds 200-300 ppm.
What causes orange staining in my water?+
Iron in your water. Westmoreland County’s coal-region geology means many wells contain elevated iron levels. When iron-rich water contacts air, it oxidizes and creates visible stains. Custom-Designed media filtration removes iron effectively.
Why does my water smell like rotten eggs?+
Hydrogen sulfide gas — common in wells throughout rural Westmoreland County, especially Derry, Unity, and Ligonier areas. Specialized Custom-Designed filtration media eliminates it completely.
How often should I test my private well?+
At minimum, test annually for bacteria, pH, hardness, iron, TDS, chlorine, and manganese. More comprehensive testing every 2-3 years is recommended, or immediately if you notice changes in taste, odor, or appearance.
Do you install reverse osmosis systems?+
Yes. Reverse osmosis provides premium drinking water filtration. Customers often tell us their water “tastes better than bottled water.” We offer high-flow systems with optional UV treatment for comprehensive protection.
Can you service equipment you didn’t install?+
Absolutely. We repair and maintain all types of water treatment equipment, regardless of who installed it or the brand. Call 724-708-8816 to schedule service.
What about well water bacteria?+
Coliform bacteria is common in PA wells. UV disinfection helps inactivate microorganisms as a final treatment stage. We test for bacteria during every on-site assessment and recommend UV when appropriate.
What warranty do you offer?+
Up to 10-year warranty protection on custom-engineered systems (terms apply). Covers equipment defects with ongoing support and 24/7 emergency service.
How much does a whole-house system cost?+
Costs vary by water chemistry and treatment needs. We provide detailed quotes after water testing — no pressure, no gimmicks. Financing available.
