Old Order Farms and Town Taps
Dayton sits in the heart of Old Order Mennonite farm country, and you will share the road with horse-and-buggy traffic. Homes in town are often on a public water system. On the farms west toward Ottobine and Clover Hill, private wells are the norm.
Silver Lake and Cooks Creek are part of the town's landscape. Under it all lies limestone, which tends to make well water hard. About half of Rockingham County residents rely on private wells, according to Virginia Cooperative Extension, so many Dayton families look after their own water.

Water Heaters and Hard Water in Dayton
Hard water and water heaters do not get along. Scale, a hard, chalky mineral crust, settles on the tank bottom. Over time it can make the tank rumble and heat more slowly. In a tankless heater, scale can clog the small passages that heat the water.
We install, replace and repair tank and tankless water heaters in Dayton homes. Water heaters run on gas, propane or electricity, so ask which fuel types we install. Manufacturer tank warranties vary by model. Ask us about the one on yours.

Dayton water questions
Yes. We serve Dayton and the farms west toward Ottobine and Clover Hill. Most of those homes use private wells, and well water is a big part of what we do. Call Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and tell us how to find you.
It can, if hardness is the problem. Limestone under the Valley tends to make well water hard, which leaves spots, soap scum and scale. But many wells also carry iron or sulfur, which may need a filter before the softener. Our free basic test shows what you have.
Maybe not, but many people still notice hard water. Town water is treated to meet safety standards, and hardness is not a safety issue. It can still leave spots on dishes and scale in your water heater. Our free basic test shows how hard your water is before you decide.
