Water treatment in Wyomissing, PA
Most of Wyomissing gets its water from the Western Berks Water Authority, treated from Tulpehocken Creek water below Blue Marsh Dam and disinfected with chloramine. The Wyomissing Hills section is on Pennsylvania American Water instead, with very hard, chlorinated well water. We test, filter and soften water for Wyomissing homes on either system.

What Wyomissing homeowners ask us about
Chloramine taste and smell. Chloramine lasts longer in the pipes than chlorine and is harder to filter. A whole-home catalytic carbon filter or a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink reduces it. Whole-home filtration →
Hard water in Wyomissing Hills. Pennsylvania American Water's Penn District averaged well above the 120 mg/L that Penn State calls hard. Water softeners →
Drinking water for the family. Reverse osmosis gives you purified water at one tap for drinking and cooking. Reverse osmosis →
Older homes. Utility lead results are low, but plumbing inside an older home can add lead. A certified lab test answers that question.

Wyomissing water: common questions
Who supplies Wyomissing's water?
Wyomissing Borough's water system buys its water from the Western Berks Water Authority and delivers it through the borough's own lines. Berks County lists the Wyomissing Hills section of Wyomissing as served by Pennsylvania American Water instead. Your water bill shows which one you have.
Is Wyomissing water hard?
Western Berks Water Authority's 2025 water quality report doesn't list hardness, so we don't publish a number for it. Our free in-home test measures your actual hardness. In the Wyomissing Hills section, Pennsylvania American Water's Penn District reported 2025 averages of 204 to 360 mg/L (about 12 to 21 grains per gallon), which is very hard.
Does Wyomissing use chlorine or chloramine?
Water from the Western Berks Water Authority is disinfected with chloramine, according to its 2025 report. Pennsylvania American Water's Penn District, which serves the Wyomissing Hills section, uses chlorine.
Can a filter remove chloramine?
Yes, but it's harder to remove than chlorine and needs a filter designed for it, usually catalytic carbon with enough contact time. If you're on Western Berks water, make sure any whole-home filter is rated for chloramine.
Is Wyomissing water safe?
Western Berks Water Authority reported no violations in 2025, and its 90th-percentile lead result was 2.0 ppb with no sites over the action level. Water can still pick up lead from older plumbing in a home, and some families filter for taste or added peace of mind.
