Water Filtration Services in Greece, NY
Greece is Monroe County's largest suburb by population, stretching from the Lake Ontario shoreline to the west side of Rochester. With housing stock ranging from 1950s ranches to brand-new construction, Greece homeowners face varying water quality challenges. Lake Effect Water Filtration provides professional water testing and custom treatment solutions for every Greece home.
Greece Water Quality: Lake Ontario Source Water
Greece receives its water directly from the MCWA's Shoremont Water Treatment Plant, which draws from Lake Ontario — right in Greece's backyard. While this proximity means shorter distribution lines, the water still contains chlorine disinfection residuals and measures 8–12 grains per gallon in hardness. Greece's post-war housing stock (many homes built 1950–1980) sometimes has galvanized steel or older copper plumbing that can contribute iron, lead solder residue, and sediment to tap water. Homes near the lakeshore may also experience seasonal taste and odor changes when Lake Ontario turns over in spring and fall.

Where does Greece, NY get its water?
Greece receives water from the MCWA's Shoremont Water Treatment Plant, which draws directly from Lake Ontario. The plant is actually located in Greece, on Lake Ontario's shore near the mouth of the Genesee River.
Why does my Greece water taste like chlorine?
The MCWA uses chlorine to disinfect water and maintain safe levels throughout the distribution system. Greece homes closer to the Shoremont plant may notice stronger chlorine taste. A whole-house carbon filter eliminates chlorine taste and odor from every tap.
Are PFAS a concern in Greece water?
PFAS have been detected in Lake Ontario, the source of Greece's water supply. While levels are currently below EPA limits, many homeowners choose proactive filtration — a reverse osmosis or activated carbon system — to reduce PFAS exposure for their families.
