Racine County Water
Living in Racine County, you understand the versatility between busy cities, built with character, to beautiful farmlands. However, you may not be aware of how drastic the water usage can vary from city to farmland in your county. Homes, livestock, irrigation, and industrial facilities use the deep wells and city water provided within the county for a plethora of needs. The Racine Water Utility Plant, obtaining water from Lake Michigan, provides tap water to various areas of Racine County, including Caledonia, Mount Pleasant, Wind Point, and Sturtevant. In addition to these Racine County areas, approved in June 2019, water from Lake Michigan will be diverted to serve the Foxconn Industrial Complex, which will use up to 7 million gallons of water daily. Talk about impressive water movement!
Are you worried about the quality of your drinking water? Have no fear because Racine’s Water Utility Plant monitors drinking waters quality by issuing a Drinking Water Quality Report annually. This report lists any water contaminants or substances that are found in the water. The most common substances found in Racine County water is Iron and Hydrogen Sulfide.

Q: What’s the difference between well water and city water?
A: Depending on where you live in Jefferson county, your water will be sourced from various different areas (city water, private well, etc.). No matter where your water is sourced from, it has its unique pros and cons. Consider scheduling a water test to see what’s in your water.
Q: How do I find out how hard my water is?
A: Water is measured in grains of hardness. Typically, in Racine County we see a range of 10-40 grains of hardness. Soft water is below 1 grain of hardness. To find out how hard your home’s water is, schedule a water test.
Q: Is there lead in my drinking water?
A: Water that is too corrosive can dissolve lead and other contaminants from plumbing throughout your home. However, lead in drinking water is hardly ever the sole cause of lead poisoning. If you are concerned about lead in your water, schedule a water test with us!
