The Chilton Water Department in Chilton, WI is dedicated to providing softened water to homes and businesses in the city. They utilize large municipal Ion-exchange salt softeners to soften the water supply, reducing its hardness to an average of 8 grains per gallon. However, they also emphasize the importance of minimizing the use of salt, as it can have detrimental effects on the environment when it ends up in lakes, streams, rivers, and groundwater.
As part of their commitment to environmental sustainability, the Chilton Water Department requires all residents to obtain a building permit for the installation or replacement of water softeners. Since July 1, 2007, new residential water softeners must meet high-efficiency criteria or have a Demand Initiated Regeneration (DIR) Unit, as stated in the City of Chilton Municipal Code. By adhering to these regulations, the department aims to ensure the responsible use of water softeners and minimize their impact on the local ecosystem.
