Water quality is a significant problem in many areas, and conscientious homeowners in Westchester County are rightly concerned about not knowing what’s in their water. Yost & Campbell Heating, Cooling & Generators offers homeowners the peace of mind that comes with properly treated water through a variety of water treatment solutions.
What Is the Water Quality Like in New York?
New York is known for having better-quality water than much of the U.S., but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to worry about. Studies have shown concerning pollution levels in the Hudson River, which borders Westchester County. Between 2019 and 2023, about 89 million gallons of chemically laced landfill runoff were dumped into the river.
A 2024 settlement also requires the construction of a $138 million water filtration plant — a plant that won’t be operational for quite some time. While New York’s water is comparatively clean, there’s still significant concern over incidents like these.
The Importance of Water Treatment
Water treatment is often necessary to make water drinkable. If you get your water from the city, it goes through a treatment process to ensure it’s acceptable according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) standards. However, if you want the safest water, consider adding a treatment system to your home. Water treatment can:
- Remove contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and parasites
- Reduce dangerous chemical substances like lead, mercury, and arsenic

Frequently Asked Questions
What is reverse osmosis water treatment?
Reverse osmosis (RO) treatment forces water through a semi-permeable membrane to remove contaminants.
How do I know if there’s lead in my water?
Lead is invisible in water and can’t be smelled or tasted. Have your water tested to see if you have an older home with aging pipes or any other concerns about lead.
Is hard water bad for you?
Hard water isn’t hazardous to your health, but it can dry out your skin and hair and create damaging mineral scale buildup on your pipes and appliances.
