Water in Northeast Philadelphia
The Northeast is where Philadelphia stops feeling like rowhome city and starts looking like the suburbs — twins, semi-detached and fully detached homes with actual yards and, usually, real basements, built mostly from the 1950s through the 1970s. That space changes the conversation from South Philadelphia's compact, fit-it-where-you-can installs to something closer to a standard suburban specification.
Who supplies the water: Northeast Philadelphia is supplied by the Philadelphia Water Department's Baxter Water Treatment Plant, which draws from the Delaware River.
The water itself is the same Philadelphia Water Department supply as the rest of the city, so taste and odor from the disinfectant residual and hardness on fixtures are still the two recurring issues — we're just not fighting the house to solve them.

Specialty treatmentOur Recommendation for Northeast Philadelphia
Northeast Philadelphia's twins and detached homes generally have the basement space for a standard whole-house filtration and softener setup — unlike the compact, point-of-use-first approach we often use in the city's denser rowhome neighborhoods. Taste and odor from the municipal supply and hardness on fixtures are the two things worth testing for first.
We also install and service commercial systems in Northeast Philadelphia — commercial water softeners, commercial water filtration and commercial reverse osmosis.
