Frequently Asked Questions for Water in Troy, Michigan
Is Troy tap water safe to drink?
Yes, Troy’s tap water meets all state and federal safety standards. However, some contaminants have been detected, including total trihalomethanes (up to 32 ppb), haloacetic acids (up to 16 ppb), nitrate (up to 0.35 ppm), and fluoride (up to 0.80 ppm). While these levels are within regulatory limits, they may exceed Environmental Working Group (EWG) guidelines, meaning your tap water still may contain harmful contaminants.
Is Troy’s water hard?
Yes, Troy’s water is considered moderately hard, with hardness levels averaging around 99–108 ppm depending on the treatment plant. Hard water can cause scale buildup on fixtures, dry skin, and reduced appliance efficiency.
Does Troy’s water contain PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?
Recent testing across Michigan water systems continues to monitor PFAS levels. While Troy’s primary water supply from the Great Lakes system is treated and regulated, PFAS contamination can vary by region. Because of this, many residents choose reverse osmosis or advanced carbon filtration systems for added protection.
Does Troy add fluoride to its water?
Yes, Troy’s water contains fluoride at levels around 0.47–0.80 ppm, which is within state and federal guidelines for preventing tooth decay.
What other contaminants are in Troy’s water?
Troy’s water quality testing detected several regulated contaminants, including:
- Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) (up to 32 ppb)
- Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) (up to 16 ppb)
- Fluoride (up to 0.80 ppm)
- Nitrate (up to 0.35 ppm)
- Barium (up to 0.01 ppm)
- Total Chlorine Residual (up to 0.80 ppm)
- Sodium (up to 5.3 ppm)
- Combined Radium (up to 0.86 pCi/L)
Where does Troy get its water?
Troy’s water is supplied by the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), primarily sourced from Lake Huron and the Detroit River system. Water is treated at regional facilities before being distributed to homes throughout the area.
What is the pH level of Troy water?
The pH of Troy’s water typically ranges from 7.1 to 7.5, which is considered neutral to slightly alkaline.
Should I use a water filter or softener in Troy?
Yes, due to moderate hardness 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 Troy water have a high total dissolved solids (TDS) level?
No, Troy’s TDS levels are relatively moderate, typically ranging between 113–122 ppm, which is below the EPA’s secondary standard of 500 ppm. However, some homeowners still prefer reverse osmosis systems for improved taste and purity.
Where can I get a local water quality report?
You can access the latest Troy water quality information through the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) and your local municipality.
