Alpine sits at the mouth of American Fork Canyon, with larger lots and plenty of homes that have been here a long time. Some are on city water and some are on private wells, and the right treatment depends on which one you have.
Around Alpine
Alpine was called Mountainville when it was settled in 1850, and it got its current name because the views reminded people of the Swiss Alps. It sits on the slopes of the Wasatch at the northeast edge of Utah County, along State Route 74, with American Fork Canyon close by.
The trails around Alpine draw mountain bikers from all over the state. Lambert Park has the city's rodeo grounds and several trailheads, and Creekside Park, at 100 South and 600 East, isn't far from City Hall on Main Street.
Water in Alpine
Water across north Utah County is hard. The City of Orem, for example, reports its own well and spring sources at 7 to 25 grains per gallon. Every source is different, so we test your water before recommending anything.
If your home is on a private well, the EPA notes that private wells aren't regulated the way city water is, so testing and treatment are up to the owner. Wells can carry iron, sulfur and more hardness than city water.
Getting the Most From Your Water in Alpine
If you're not sure whether your Alpine home is on city water or a private well, check your utility bill or your property records. On a well, testing comes first, and Utah State University Extension recommends that well owners test every year. On city water, a softener sized to your household handles the hardness that's common across north Utah County.
Water Softener and Water Treatment in Alpine
On city water, a water softener is the main fix. On a well, we'll recommend Well Water Treatment based on your test, such as an Iron Removal System or Iron & Sulfur Removal paired with a softener.
