What to Know About Water and Plumbing in Hopkins
Hopkins runs its own wells and treatment plant. Here is what the City of Hopkins says about its water, and what it means for your home.
Three deep wells
Hopkins uses three municipal wells about 500 feet deep that draw from the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer.
Iron and manganese filtered
The treatment plant filters out iron and manganese, bringing iron below 0.03 parts per million, then adds chlorine and fluoride.
21 grains of hardness
The city lists its water at 21 grains of hardness and does not soften it, so most homes need a water softener to protect water heaters and fixtures.
Corrosion control
The city adds a corrosion inhibitor to reduce how much lead and copper the water picks up from household plumbing.

Plumbing and HVAC Problems We See in Hopkins Homes
Our Hopkins calls range from 1950s houses to condos and newer homes. These are the problems we see most often, based on our own service records.
Water heaters in older basements
In older Hopkins homes, the water heater often sits in a tight utility space next to the furnace. We replace gas and electric water heaters and make sure the venting and gas connection meet code.
Condo and townhome water heaters
Condos often have small electric heaters in a closet. We replace them with the right size and keep the work clean in shared buildings.
Leaking shut-off valves
Old shut-off valves under sinks and toilets often weep or won’t close. We replace them before they fail.
Remodel plumbing
We rough in and finish kitchen, bathroom and laundry plumbing for remodels, working alongside your contractor.
