Why Frederick businesses add this
About a third of Frederick County households are on private wells, and the limestone geology under much of the county delivers hard, iron-rich water. On city water, chlorine and chloramine taste are the usual complaint. Homeowners replace water heaters early, scrub orange stains and buy bottled water for years before they price a real fix, and when they do, the quotes they get range from $1,500 to $10,000 for what sounds like the same thing.
