Water filtration in Leander
Leander gets its water from Lake Travis, through the city's own intake and the regional Brushy Creek plant. It's one of the fastest growing cities in the area, and a lot of homes here are new builds.
New construction is a great time to add filtration. Plumbing is easy to reach, and you can set it up right from day one.

Chloramine and hardness
Leander disinfects with chloramine, averaging 2.40 mg/L in its 2025 report. Catalytic carbon handles it.
The report doesn't publish a hardness number. Other utilities drawing from Lake Travis report around 180 ppm, which is very hard, but it's better to test at your tap than assume.
Lead and copper notes
The 2025 report lists the 90th percentile lead result at 1 ppb, with one sampled site over the action level, and notes monitoring and notification violations for the lead and copper program. If lead is a concern, a certified lab test is the right way to check your own tap.
Leander neighborhoods
Coverage includes Crystal Falls, Travisso, Mason Hills, Bryson, Palmera Ridge, and the rest of Leander. Many newer homes here come with a softener loop already plumbed in the garage.
