Frequently Asked Questions for Water in Novi, Michigan
Is Novi tap water safe to drink?
Yes, Novi’s tap water meets all state and federal safety standards. However, some contaminants have been detected, including total trihalomethanes (up to 42.75 ppb), haloacetic acids (up to 16.25 ppb), nitrate (up to 0.35 ppm), and fluoride (up to 0.8 ppm). While these levels are within regulatory limits, they may exceed Environmental Working Group (EWG) guidelines, which means harmful contaminants may still be present in your tap water.
Is Novi’s water hard?
Novi’s water is considered moderately hard, with hardness levels commonly falling around the same range seen throughout this regional supply. Hard water can lead to scale buildup on fixtures, dry skin, and reduced appliance efficiency.
Does Novi’s water contain PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?
Recent testing under the UCMR5 program found that 29 PFAS compounds and lithium were tested, and all results were below the reporting limit. That means they were not detected above laboratory detection limits. However, because PFAS contamination can vary over time and many homeowners want an added layer of protection, some residents still choose reverse osmosis or advanced carbon filtration systems.
Does Novi add fluoride to its water?
Yes, Novi’s water contains fluoride. Testing showed levels up to 0.8 ppm in one source and 0.49 ppm in another, which is within state and federal guidelines for preventing tooth decay.
What other contaminants are in Novi’s water?
The water quality testing detected several trace contaminants, including:
- Chlorine (up to 0.80 ppm)
- Fluoride (up to 0.8 ppm)
- HAA5 (up to 16.25 ppb)
- Nitrate (up to 0.35 ppm)
- TTHMs (up to 42.75 ppb)
- Sodium (up to 5.2 ppm)
- Turbidity (up to 0.2 NTU)
Lead and copper monitoring also showed results below action levels.
Where does Novi get its water?
Novi’s water is supplied through the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) and the City of Novi, with treated water coming from the Lake Huron and Springwells water treatment plants.
What is the pH level of Novi water?
The pH level was not shown in the results you provided. Even so, municipal drinking water like Novi’s is treated to remain in a stable range that supports corrosion control and overall water quality.
Should I use a water filter or softener in Novi?
Yes, due to hard water and the presence of trace contaminants, many residents benefit from whole-house water filters, reverse osmosis systems, and water softeners to improve water quality, taste, and appliance longevity.
Does Novi water have a high total dissolved solids (TDS) level?
Total dissolved solids were not listed in the results you shared for Novi. Even when water meets standards, many homeowners still use reverse osmosis to improve taste and reduce dissolved minerals in drinking water.
Where can I get a local water quality report?
You can access the latest Novi water quality information through the City of Novi and the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA).
The Proof
Why Do Novi
Homeowners LOVE Us?
Installation was quick and the team explained everything clearly. Our water feels better, tastes cleaner, and we’ve already seen less buildup around fixtures. Really happy with the service so far.
Scheduling was easy and the technician showed up on time. Everything was installed without any issues, and the system has been working perfectly. Definitely worth it.
We switched to Culligan after dealing with hard water problems for years. The difference is noticeable in our showers, dishes, and laundry. Solid service and a great overall experience.
