Water Softener & Plumbing Services
in MIDVALE, UT
Midvale has a more layered water setup than many homeowners realize. The city’s water conservation plan says Midvale serves about 33,000 residents through 8,423 water connections, and its drinking water comes from three active wells plus several wholesale connections to Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District.

Utah hardness references also place Midvale around 327 ppm, or about 19 grains per gallon, which is firmly in hard-water territory and enough to leave scale on fixtures, cloud up glassware, and wear on water heaters over time.
Sharp Water Solutions already serves Midvale as part of its Salt Lake County coverage, and Midvale is a strong fit because the local plumbing story combines hard water, older infrastructure, and steady redevelopment.
Midvale also says it took over the Union area drinking-water system from Sandy City in 2009 and, as of 2018, no longer purchases water from Sandy City, which helps explain why the city now manages a broader and more complex system than some homeowners may assume.

Why Midvale is different
Midvale’s water system is a blend of local production and imported supply. The city says its three active wells are the Hancock Well, Million Gallon Well, and Oak Street Well, with capacities of 2,100 GPM, 2,100 GPM, and 1,200 GPM, plus a JVWCD contract for 3,085 acre-feet and a total reliable supply of 8,360 acre-feet.This is important because neighborhoods may get water affected by both groundwater and wholesale supply, rather than a single uniform source.
Midvale is also very much an infrastructure-maintenance city. Its plan says many pipes in the distribution system are old, undersized, and may be leaking, and the city continues replacing or upsizing old pipelines as budgets and street projects allow. The city also says it regularly replaces old service laterals with copper or poly lines and has replaced all water meters with radio-read meters within the past 10 years.
Local tips for Midvale homes
Midvale has made strong progress on conservation, but the system still shows the usual signs of an older urban network. The city says its average water use over the last five years has declined to 148 gallons per capita per day, while unaccounted-for water in 2023 was 11.7% of supplied water, with likely causes including leaks, meter inaccuracies, and unmetered uses such as flushing.
For homeowners, that makes leak repair, pressure checks, and keeping older plumbing components in good shape especially worthwhile.
The city also notes that residential use makes up about 88.2% of water demand, and it actively flags continuous-flow meters and abnormally high usage to help spot leaks. In plain terms, Midvale is a place where small hidden leaks can quietly waste a lot of water, so treatment plus preventive plumbing care is a smarter combo than waiting for a bigger failure.
