New Berlin's water utility buys treated Lake Michigan water from Milwaukee, and Milwaukee Water Works rates that water as moderately hard.
The switch came after the Wisconsin DNR approved New Berlin’s Lake Michigan diversion under the Great Lakes Compact. The city’s diversion report to the DNR dates Lake Michigan service to July 2009.
So what does that mean at your tap? Milwaukee Water Works puts its water at 8.01 grains per gallon on its water hardness page, and it says softeners aren’t necessary for residential use. If your home has a softener that was set up for the old supply, its hardness setting deserves a look. One set too high wastes salt and water. Worth a check.
Then it’s a different story, and testing comes first. We test well water, install treatment systems sized to the results, and service well pumps under Wisconsin DNR pump installer license PI 7661.
A sewer camera inspection shows New Berlin buyers the underground pipe a home inspection skips: roots, cracks, sags and joints that have shifted.
A home inspection looks at what you can see, and the sewer lateral (the pipe from the house to the city main) is underground. A camera shows its condition before you own it. The same camera works on a slow kitchen or laundry line too.
Responsibility for a lateral depends on local rules, so ask the city who owns which section before you close. A video sewer inspection gives you a recording of the line and a clear picture of its condition while you can still ask questions.
Schoenwalder Plumbing works under Wisconsin master plumber license MP 224276, held by Kory A. King. Wisconsin issues plumbing licenses to people, not companies, so search that name or number on the Department of Safety and Professional Services lookup at licensesearch.wi.gov. Our team also holds a Cross Connection Control Tester Registration for backflow testing.
Schoenwalder Plumbing installs, repairs and replaces submersible and jet well pumps under Wisconsin DNR pump installer license PI 7661. We also test well water and recommend treatment based on what the test shows. If the pressure falls off when two taps run, or the pump keeps cycling on and off, call 262-542-7908.
Schoenwalder Plumbing’s showroom sits inside our shop at 1720 Dolphin Drive, Suite A, in Waukesha. New Berlin homeowners can see working sinks, faucets and toilets before choosing anything, then our plumbers handle the remodel plumbing. Read more about our bathroom remodeling work.
