The Sussex water utility supplies water to area homes using several wells, water towers, and ground reservoirs. As water travels through these various areas, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and other substances. Although these typically do not have a negative impact on your health, a Sussex water softener is a great option to bring soft water into your home.
