Softer water across Dakota County
Dakota County taps run hard like the rest of the metro, and the county's aging softener population, decades-old units in Eagan and Burnsville utility rooms, has quietly stopped keeping up. Scale on new fixtures is usually the tell.
A local water company replaces tired units with efficient modern ones and adds filtration where households want cleaner drinking water. Appliances stop fighting minerals, and the salt bags get lighter duty.
