Water Softener & Filtration Installation in Leesburg, VA
Leesburg homes get moderately hard water from Leesburg Utilities. We soften it, remove the disinfectant and polish your drinking water for $2,499 installed.
What is in Leesburg's water
Leesburg treats its own Potomac River water, so we confirm the town's current hardness and disinfectant before sizing a system rather than assuming county numbers. West of town, many homes are on private wells and need a lab test first.
Seasonal changes
Check the town's annual report for any seasonal disinfectant changes.
Lead and older plumbing
Historic downtown Leesburg has homes well over a century old, where lead solder and old galvanized pipe are common. Lead does not come from the treatment plant.
PFAS: Utilities that draw from the Potomac have reported low-level PFAS detections in routine monitoring. EPA finalized limits for PFOA and PFOS in 2024. An under-sink reverse osmosis system certified to NSF/ANSI 58 is the practical fix at the tap you drink from.

Leesburg water questions
How hard is the water in Leesburg?
Leesburg is served by Town of Leesburg Utilities. We expect about 5 to 10 grains per gallon, which is moderately hard. Leesburg draws from the same Potomac River as its neighbors, so hardness is expected in the moderately hard band. Confirm with the town's latest report.
Does Leesburg tap water contain chloramine?
We confirm the disinfectant from the utility's latest report before specifying carbon media for a Leesburg home. We have not confirmed whether the town uses chlorine or chloramine. We check this before specifying carbon media for a Leesburg home.
How much does a water softener cost in Leesburg?
$1,899 installed for a metered softener with catalytic carbon, or $2,499 with an under-sink reverse osmosis system. That covers equipment, a licensed plumber's installation and startup for a standard install; we quote any extras before booking.
Do you install in Leesburg townhomes and condos?
Townhomes, yes, usually with a compact single-tank softener in the utility closet. Condos where the building supply cannot be modified get an under-sink reverse osmosis system, which handles drinking water taste, lead and PFAS without touching shared plumbing.
Is Leesburg water safe to drink?
Yes. Leesburg Utilities meets federal and state standards, and we will never claim otherwise. A home system addresses comfort (hardness, disinfectant taste and smell) and, at the kitchen tap, contaminants that enter from home plumbing such as lead.
