What to Know About Water and Plumbing in Excelsior
Excelsior runs its own wells and a treatment plant that softens the water. Here is what the city says, and what it means for your home.
Three deep wells
Excelsior’s water comes from three wells, 448 to 465 feet deep, in the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer.
Softened at the plant
The city’s plant is designed to soften the water and remove iron and manganese by gravity filtration, then adds chlorine and fluoride.
Service line inventory
As of October 29, 2025, the city reported 2 lead service lines, 26 galvanized lines that need replacement, 321 lines of unknown material and 414 non-lead lines.
Lead and copper testing
In the city’s 2025 report, none of the 10 homes tested were above the action level for lead or copper.

Plumbing and HVAC Problems We See in Excelsior Homes
Excelsior mixes older homes near the lake with condos and shops downtown. These are the problems we see most often, based on our own service records.
Older water service lines
With hundreds of service lines still listed as unknown material, and some galvanized and lead lines, older homes may need their line checked. We can look at where it enters your house and replace galvanized or damaged piping.
Leaks between condo units
In stacked condos, a ceiling leak can come from the unit above. We trace the source with building management and repair it without guessing.
Tank and tankless water heaters
We install, service and troubleshoot both. Because Excelsior softens its water, check your home softener setting so you are not softening twice.
Wet basements
Heavy rain and snowmelt can flood low areas. We pump out water, find the cause and repair or replace sump pumps.
