The hardness of Prairie du Chien
water is 300mg/l or 17.5 grains.
The Prairie du Chien water system consists of four wells and three
reservoirs. The wells pump water from sand and gravel aquifers to sealed
reservoirs that store approximately 2.5 million gallons of water. The
City is served by over 54 miles of water main, 298 fire hydrants, and
508 main valves. 2,300 metered customers are served by the water system.
The City of Prairie du Chien’s water system also serves the Towns of
Bridgeport and Prairie du Chien.
In an ongoing effort to protect public wells from contamination, the
Water Department has implemented a
Wellhead Protection Plan
to minimize potential risks.
