- Hardness Varies Here

Lake Water, Well Water
What Plumbers in Boerne Check Before Anything Else
Plumbers in Boerne start by asking where the water comes from, because in Boerne it can come from three places. Boerne Utilities draws from Boerne City Lake, from Canyon Lake through GBRA and from groundwater wells, and the city says hardness varies across town for that reason. Where it runs hard, it shows up as scale in the heater and crust on the fixtures. Bergheim Plumbing is 17 minutes away in Spring Branch.
Outside the city line, a Boerne house is often on its own well and septic system. Wells across Kendall County fall under the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District, and every aerobic septic system in the county needs an affidavit and a signed maintenance contract. When a drain runs slow out there, we check the plumbing inside the house first and tell you straight if the trouble is in the septic system.

Around Main Plaza
Boerne From the Courthouse Out
Boerne began in 1849 as a German camp called Tusculum on Cibolo Creek, took the name Boerne in 1852 and incorporated in 1909. Cibolo Creek still runs past downtown, and on summer evenings Main Plaza holds a concert where residents dance the polka. Berges Fest has come around every year since 1967.
Downtown and the edge of town get the same Bergheim truck and the same deal: no charge to come out, and a price before any work. The miles here start at the courthouse on San Antonio Avenue, 17 minutes from the shop. Tell us your road when you call, and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.

What I-10 Did

Straight Answers
Boerne Plumbing, Asked and Answered
Where Does Boerne's Tap Water Come From?
Three places. Boerne Utilities blends water from Boerne City Lake, Canyon Lake through GBRA and groundwater wells. Which one reaches your house depends on where it sits in the system.
Why Does Hardness Change From One Boerne Street to the Next?
Because Boerne mixes lake water and well water, and the mix changes across town. The city does not report one hardness number for that reason. We test your tap, and if it runs hard, a water softener protects the water heater and the fixtures.
My House Is Outside Boerne on a Well. Do You Come Out?
Yes. A Boerne address on a private well is everyday work for us. Tell us the road when you call, and whether the house has a pressure tank and a softener.
Do I Need a Permit for a Septic System Near Boerne?
Yes. Kendall County permits septic systems, and an aerobic system needs an affidavit and a signed maintenance contract. The county has 30 days to approve or deny an application. We handle the plumbing in the house, not the septic permit.
How Fast Can You Get to Boerne?
About 17 minutes from the shop to the courthouse, out Highway 46 and River Road. You get an honest time on the phone, and if water is spreading, we tell you how to shut it off first.
Is It Free to Have You Look in Boerne?
Yes. There is no charge to come out to Boerne. You get the problem and the price, and you pay only for the work you approve.
