Where does Wellington water come from?

For Village of Wellington Utility customers, Wellington draws groundwater from 18 wells in three surficial-aquifer well fields. The utility reports 12.3 million gallons per day of treatment capacity and blends conventional lime-softened water with membrane-treated water.

The State Road 7 boundary matters.

What did Wellington report for 2025?

System status

Wellington says its 2025 drinking water met federal, state and local requirements.

Disinfectants

Chlorine and chloramines averaged 3.17 ppm against a 4 ppm maximum residual disinfectant level.

Disinfection byproducts

HAA5 was 17.3 ppb and TTHM was 36.9 ppb, below their 60 and 80 ppb limits.

Lead and copper

Lead was 1.7 ppb at the 90th percentile and copper was 0.045 ppm, below their action levels. One of 35 lead samples exceeded 15 ppb, but the system action level was not exceeded.

PFAS monitoring

Voluntary quarterly sampling listed PFOS at 2.9–5.4 ppt and PFOA at 1.1–2.5 ppt. These are monitoring results, not a stated 2025 system violation.

Raw-well event

A raw-well E. coli sample was positive while well R8 was already disconnected. Wellington says the well was disinfected and cleared through a 10-sample survey before returning to service.

Why Wellington has a real search opportunity

Commercial pages currently publish sharply conflicting descriptions of Wellington’s provider and hardness—from County water claims to very different mineral ranges. The official report establishes Wellington’s own utility and confirms that lime softening reduces hardness, but it does not publish one number that should be used to size equipment at every property. Our guide keeps those questions separate.

— WELLINGTON PROPERTY CHECK

Measure the property, not a search-result estimate.

A complimentary field check can measure untreated hardness and TDS for a treatment decision. Lead, PFAS, bacteria and other health-specific concerns require the appropriate laboratory method.
