Water Treatment in Englewood

Englewood Water District Softens Before It Reaches You
The Englewood Water District covers about 44 square miles straddling the Sarasota and Charlotte county line. They treat their own water rather than buying it in.
Four fresh water wellfields and two brackish ones, run through lime softening and reverse osmosis before any of it reaches you.
That’s more treatment than most of this region gets, and it shows up as lower hardness at the tap.
Step outside the district and none of that applies. You’re on a private well, and the problems change completely.
So the first question here is always which of the two you’re on.

Inside The District Or Outside It
Inside the district you’re on treated supply. The questions there are chlorine and taste.
Outside it you’re on a well, and that’s a different set of problems. Iron, sulfur and hardness, with nobody testing any of it.
Englewood also straddles the county line, which confuses people. For water treatment it makes no difference at all. The district serves both sides.
What decides your equipment is which supply your house is on. Not which county the mailbox sits in.
- Englewood Water District covers both counties
- District water is softened at the plant
- Outside the district you are on your own well
Frequently Asked Questions About Englewood
Is Englewood on city water or wells?
Both. The Englewood Water District covers about 44 square miles straddling the Sarasota and Charlotte county line, running its own wellfields through lime softening and reverse osmosis. Outside the district you're on a private well, and that's a different setup entirely.
Why does my well water smell like rotten eggs?
Hydrogen sulfide. It's just down there in the groundwater around here, and Englewood wells get it a lot. It comes out where the water enters the house. Your softener won't touch it, so if somebody told you a softener would fix the smell, it won't.
Does it matter which county I am in?
Not for this. The Water District serves the Sarasota side and the Charlotte side both. What decides your equipment is whether you're on district water or a well, and what's actually in it. The county line doesn't change any of that.
