Better water for St. Paul homes
Ramsey County water is metro-hard, and the county's vintage plumbing adds mineral and taste notes of its own by the time water crosses a century-old basement. Compact utility spaces in old houses also constrain what equipment fits.
A local water company fits efficient softening into tight old basements and adds filtration where taste or plumbing history warrants. The improvement reads instantly, in the shower, on the fixtures, and in the glass.
