Pittsford Water Quality: Village and Town Differences
Pittsford's water supply comes from the MCWA (Lake Ontario source), providing treated municipal water to most of the town. However, some properties in southern and eastern Pittsford — particularly newer developments and rural parcels — rely on private wells. Well water in this area commonly contains elevated iron, manganese, and hardness minerals from the limestone-rich geology. Municipal water customers experience the same chlorine and hardness issues common across Monroe County, with water hardness typically measuring 8–12 grains per gallon.

Does Pittsford have well water?
Most of Pittsford is served by the MCWA municipal supply, but some properties in southern and eastern Pittsford — particularly along Mendon Center Road and in newer developments — use private wells. Well water in this area commonly has elevated iron, manganese, and hardness.
Why is Pittsford water so hard?
Pittsford's water — whether from the MCWA or private wells — passes through limestone-rich geology that adds calcium and magnesium. Municipal water averages 8–12 grains per gallon. Well water can be even harder, sometimes exceeding 20 gpg.
What water filtration system is best for a Pittsford home?
It depends on your water source and concerns. A free water test is the best starting point. Most Pittsford homeowners benefit from a combination water softener and whole-house carbon filter to address both hardness and chlorine/THMs.
