What comes out of the tap in Canyon Lake
CLWSC supply is treated surface water — hard, chlorinated, but iron-free, so a water softener and optionally a whole house catalytic carbon filter cover it. Well homes on the north and west shores show the same iron and sulfur pattern as Spring Branch and Bulverde.
Around Canyon Lake it is street by street. Much of the lake is served by Canyon Lake Water Service Company, which treats surface water: hard, chlorinated for disinfection, but with no iron in it. On the north and west shores, and up the side roads off FM 306 and FM 2673, many homes are on their own Trinity aquifer well, and those show the same pattern as Spring Branch and Bulverde — hard, iron, often sulfur.
The treatment is different and so is the price, which is why we ask for your street or a photo of the meter or wellhead before quoting. CLWSC supply is a straight water softener job, with a whole house catalytic carbon filter if you want the chlorine out at every tap. A well is test first, then iron media ahead of the softener if the test calls for it.
Jason's rule of thumb for the counties around Bexar applies around the lake too: municipal supply means hardness and possible iron, a well means hardness, iron and possible H2S, and the small community water systems serving some lake developments sit in between — chlorinated and TCEQ-regulated, but in his experience harder and more iron-prone than city water.

What that means for the install
On CLWSC water the job is inside the published range for a pre-plumbed home: an LPWS32K or LPWS48K sized to the household, about an hour. Lake houses are a mix — newer builds with a loop in the garage, older cabins and weekend places with no loop at all and the water line coming in somewhere unusual. Text the three photos from the home page; Jason has priced stranger setups than yours over the phone.
Well homes on the north and west shores get the free test first. Iron above the staining threshold or sulfur at the hot tap means an iron filter ahead of the LPWS48K, and most of those jobs run $2,500–$4,500. Same unit and warranty behind the filter: 10% cross-link resin on a Clack valve, five years on the valve, ten on the tank, one year of free service checkup.
Published range $2,100–$4,000 pre-plumbed, softener only. Higher only for code work, distance, or special circumstances.
Small trip charge may apply to the north shore.
A small trip charge may apply to the north shore, and we tell you on the call, not on the invoice. The south side of the lake and Startzville are on our Spring Branch and New Braunfels runs. Mon–Sat 7am–5pm, quoted over the phone first.
Water softener questions we get from Canyon Lake
Am I on CLWSC or a well?
A bill from Canyon Lake Water Service Company means treated supply. A wellhead and pressure tank mean a private well. Text a photo of either, or just tell us the street — around the lake we usually know.
Is there a trip charge to Canyon Lake?
A small one may apply on the north shore. We say so on the call, before anything is scheduled. The south side is on our regular Spring Branch and New Braunfels runs.
Does CLWSC water need an iron filter?
No. It is treated surface water with no iron. A water softener handles the hardness, and a whole house catalytic carbon filter takes out the chlorine if you want it gone at every tap.
Can you quote a lake house with no softener loop?
Usually. Three photos — meter, both sides of the house, garage or wherever the water comes in — and the five questions on the home page are enough for Jason to price most of them without a visit.
Same water softener, same warranty, everywhere we go.

Well homes here take the same iron filter ahead of the softener we install in Spring Branch. On CLWSC supply it is the municipal job we do in New Braunfels.
