Who supplies Lovington's water?
Not the City of Hobbs. Lovington's water bill comes from whichever system serves your address, so check the name on your bill and ask that provider for its latest annual water quality report. Public water systems publish one every year, and it lists the regulated substances they tested for. Like the Hobbs report, it may not include a hardness figure, so plan on testing at your own tap before choosing a softener size.
In town or out on the plains?
Homes on the edges of Lovington and out toward the farms and ranches often run on private wells. The New Mexico Environment Department says those owners are solely responsible for their water and recommends spring testing for bacteria and nitrate, yearly arsenic tests and a uranium test every five years. Share those results with the company so it can plan filtration ahead of the softener if needed.
Typical requests in Lovington
