Water Quality in Mitchell

Mitchell drinking water comes from surface water sources (lakes, rivers, and streams) by way of wells along the river. So, depending on where you live, from Aurora to Hutchison county, the water quality you experience in your home will often vary according to environmental factors and seasonality, like spring flooding.

Surface water, like the water that comes from the Missouri River, can have a lot of advantages, however when surface water does experience issues, they’re often obvious and time consuming to fix.

One of the most common Mitchell water problems — water contaminated with hexavalent chromium and or trithalomenes — is generally the result of surface water that’s been contaminated by chemical or agricultural contamination.  The city of Mitchell’s water utility provides filtration to match federal safe drinking water standards, but this doesn’t always mean the water is free from certain concentrations of these potentially-hazardous chemicals.

Water Treatment Solutions

The right solution for your water needs often depends on what’s in your water specifically.  For chemicals and other dissolved contaminants like those often found in Mitchell’s water, the best solutions are generally reverse osmosis treatment and ion exchange filtration.
