Water

Water Quality

The Frankfort water supply contains hardness minerals (Calcium and Magnesium) and needs to be treated with a water softener. These minerals can form a scale and create problems in water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, coffee makers, and plumbing systems. A modern, efficient water conditioning system will eliminate hard water problems by removing calcium and magnesium from the water supply through filtering it in a resin-softening medium. Salt is used in the system to provide periodic revitalization, and to provide soft water for daily needs.

The proper water softner setting is 25 GPG.

The village publishes an annual drinking water quality report to provide residents with important information about drinking water.
