Lakeville Plumbing

Lakeville Plumbing Repair & Installation

Lakeville draws its tap water from about 20 deep municipal wells tapping the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer, and it leaves the city’s treatment plant very hard — around 18 grains per gallon, roughly three to four times the U.S. average. That hardness is the single biggest plumbing factor in town, and Ungerman’s licensed plumbers know exactly how it shows up in Lakeville homes and businesses.

How Lakeville’s Water Affects Your Plumbing

At 18 gpg, Lakeville’s water steadily scales pipes, fixtures, and water heaters, which is why the city itself recommends running a softener set around 14-16 gpg. A properly sized, well-maintained softener protects your appliances and extends the life of your system. Lakeville’s housing boomed in the 1990s and 2000s, so most homes are modern — but original builder-grade water heaters and supply lines are now hitting 20-30 year replacement age. Galvanized and lead-era pipe is rare here and mostly limited to the historic downtown core and a few farmstead-era properties; you can check your parcel on Minnesota’s statewide Lead Service Line inventory at maps.umn.edu/LSL.
