Where Eagle's Water Comes From and What's In It

From the Town of Eagle's 2025 Drinking Water Quality Report and its water hardness page.

Eagle's drinking water starts as snowmelt in the mountains above Yeoman Park and Sylvan Lake State Park, which feeds Brush Creek and its tributaries. The town treats Brush Creek water year-round at two plants: the Upper Basin Water Treatment Plant (4.3 million gallons a day) and the Lower Basin Water Treatment Plant (2.5 million gallons a day), which sits where Brush Creek meets the Eagle River. Chlorine is the disinfectant. The 2025 report shows total trihalomethanes averaging 36.19 ppb with a high sample of 71.4 ppb, and haloacetic acids averaging 28.7 ppb, both under federal limits, and lists no violations for the year. Naturally occurring uranium averaged 2.52 ppb in 2022 sampling. Our test checks hardness, chlorine, dissolved solids and iron so you can see how your own tap compares.

What We Install

Water Treatment for Eagle Homes

Hardness leads here, with chlorine byproducts close behind.

Water Softener Installation

At an average of 14 grains per gallon, Eagle water will scale up water heaters, dishwashers and fixtures. A water softener sized to your measured hardness and household size stops that buildup.

Whole House Water Filtration

Eagle's 2025 report shows total trihalomethanes averaging 36.19 ppb, within limits. A whole house filtration system built to reduce chlorine and its byproducts treats every tap in the house.

HydraShield Elite

The HydraShield Elite is our salt-free whole-house system, designed and built in Western Colorado and maintenance-free under normal use, for owners who would rather not keep a softener stocked with salt.

Whole Home Reverse Osmosis

For the most complete treatment, whole-home reverse osmosis takes down minerals and dissolved solids at the main line. We recommend it only when the test points that way.

What Eagle Homeowners Should Know

Because Eagle's hardness rises and falls with stream flows, a reading from runoff season can differ from one taken in late winter, and a softener sized to a low reading will fall short in the harder months. We size for your measured number with that seasonal swing in mind. The town's report also covers lead: it explains that lead typically comes from household plumbing and service lines rather than the source or treatment plant, offers a contact for residents who want their water tested, and keeps a service line inventory you can ask to see. If your home is on a private well, none of this monitoring covers it. The free water test shows what is in your water at your address, whichever supply you are on.

Frequently asked questions

How hard is the water in Eagle, CO?

The Town of Eagle reports an average of 14 grains per gallon of calcium carbonate based on its historical measurements, which it describes as very hard on the USGS scale. It also notes hardness varies with the season.

Where does Eagle get its drinking water?

From snowmelt above Yeoman Park and Sylvan Lake State Park that feeds Brush Creek. The town treats it at its Upper Basin and Lower Basin water treatment plants.

Does Eagle's water have chlorine byproducts?

Yes, as any chlorinated supply does. The 2025 report lists total trihalomethanes averaging 36.19 ppb and haloacetic acids averaging 28.7 ppb, both under the federal limits of 80 and 60 ppb. A whole-home filter can reduce them if that matters to you.

Will a softener fix everything in my Eagle water?

No. A softener handles hardness. It does not reduce chlorine or disinfection byproducts, which is why we test first and sometimes pair a softener with whole-house filtration.

No. We are based in Grand Junction, and our Grand Junction team comes to you in Eagle. Call (970) 773-6439 to book a free test.
