Penfield Water: Municipal Supply and Well Water Pockets
The majority of Penfield is served by the MCWA with Lake Ontario-sourced water. However, portions of eastern Penfield — especially along Atlantic Avenue, Penfield Road east of Route 250, and areas near the Wayne County border — have private wells. MCWA water in Penfield measures 8–12 grains per gallon hardness with standard chlorine residuals. Penfield well water frequently contains elevated iron and manganese from the local shale and sandstone formations, along with very hard water that can exceed 15–20 grains per gallon.
