Frequently Asked Questions for Water in South Lyon, Michigan
Is South Lyon tap water safe to drink?
Yes, South Lyon’s tap water meets all state and federal safety standards. However, like most municipal water systems, trace contaminants have been detected, including total trihalomethanes (up to 44.8 ppb), haloacetic acids (up to 10.3 ppb), nitrate (0.44 ppm), fluoride (0.79 ppm), and chlorine residuals (up to 0.90 ppm).
Is South Lyon’s water hard?
Yes, South Lyon’s water is considered hard. Hard water can lead to spotting, scale buildup, dry skin, and reduced appliance efficiency.
Does South Lyon’s water contain PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?
South Lyon’s water report does not indicate any violations related to PFAS compounds. While regulated PFAS compounds are monitored, trace or emerging contaminants can still be a concern in many regions. For added peace of mind, some residents choose reverse osmosis or advanced filtration systems designed to reduce PFAS.
Does South Lyon add fluoride to its water?
Yes, South Lyon’s water contains fluoride. The highest detected level was 0.79 ppm, which is within state and federal guidelines for preventing tooth decay.
What other contaminants are in South Lyon’s water?
Water quality testing detected several trace contaminants, including:
- Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) (up to 44.8 ppb)
- Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) (up to 10.3 ppb)
- Nitrate (0.44 ppm)
- Chlorine residual (up to 0.90 ppm)
- Fluoride (0.79 ppm)
- Sodium (76 ppm)
- Lithium (9.98 µg/L)
Lead and copper monitoring also showed results below action levels.
Where does South Lyon get its water?
South Lyon’s drinking water comes from four groundwater wells located within the city. These wells draw from underground aquifers, and the water is treated before being distributed to homes and businesses. Because groundwater naturally interacts with surrounding soil and rock, it can pick up minerals and trace contaminants along the way.
Should I use a water filter or softener in South Lyon?
Yes, many South Lyon homeowners benefit from whole-house water filters, reverse osmosis systems, and water softeners. These systems can help reduce hard water effects, improve taste, and address trace contaminants that may still be present even when water meets regulatory standards.
Does South Lyon water have a high total dissolved solids (TDS) level?
South Lyon’s water contains naturally occurring dissolved minerals due to its groundwater source. While TDS levels are not considered unsafe, they can affect taste and contribute to scaling. Homeowners looking for cleaner-tasting drinking water often choose reverse osmosis systems to reduce dissolved solids.
Where can I get a local water quality report?
You can access the latest water quality information through the City of South Lyon.

We noticed less buildup on fixtures and dishes almost immediately. The whole process was smooth and easy, and the difference in our water quality has been noticeable every day.
The technician explained everything clearly and helped us choose the right system for our home. Installation was fast, and the improvement in taste and softness has been great.
We were dealing with hard water issues for years. After installing a system, our appliances run better and the water tastes cleaner. Really glad we made the change.
