Your Neighbor in Queen Anne's County
Lifewell is a locally owned water treatment company, not a franchise or a national chain. Our founders, Matt Sovero and Tyler Gilmore, are Eastern Shore locals, and our home base in Queenstown is just down Route 213. Centreville is our county seat, and it's close to home. When you call, you talk to the people who test your water and install your system.
Centreville water comes in two very different forms: town water drawn from the Aquia aquifer, and private wells on the farms and estates that surround it. We know both, and we design every system from your test results.
- Education over sales. We explain your results and recommend only what you need.
- Upfront pricing. Written quotes from a printed price book, usually the same day.
- Close by. Testing is usually same or next day, and most installs are done in one day.

Arsenic in Centreville Town Water
The Town of Centreville draws its water from the Aquia aquifer and treats it with chlorine. Its 2025 water quality report lists:
| Detected | Result | Federal limit |
|---|---|---|
| Arsenic (2023 sampling) | Up to 10.2 ppb | 10 ppb |
| Total trihalomethanes | 40.5 ppb | 80 ppb |
| Chlorine | Up to 0.6 ppm | 4 ppm |
| Lead (90th percentile) | 5 ppb | 15 ppb action level |
Source: Town of Centreville Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for 2025. The report also notes a 2025 lead consumer notice reporting issue.
What it means for your home
Arsenic occurs naturally in the Aquia aquifer, which supplies the town and many county wells. The town's reported level sits right at the federal limit. Arsenic has no taste, smell, or color.
The most common fix for in-town homes is a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink. It reduces arsenic in the water you drink and cook with, along with the chlorine taste.
For chlorine taste and smell at every tap, add a whole-home carbon filter.
Well Water Treatment Around Centreville
Outside town limits, most homes in upper Queen Anne's County are on private wells drawing from the Aquia, Piney Point, or shallower aquifers. Here's what we treat most.
Arsenic
If the town's Aquia water carries arsenic, many county Aquia wells can too. Only a certified lab test tells you, and whole-home arsenic filters remove it.
Iron
Orange stains on fixtures and laundry, one of the most common well complaints in Queen Anne's County.
Hard water
Scale, spotty dishes, and short-lived water heaters. A softener fixes it.
Nitrate
Shallow wells near crop fields and septic systems are most at risk. Common in the farm country around Church Hill, Sudlersville, and Crumpton.
Bacteria
Older and shallow wells can pick up coliform bacteria. UV disinfection is the chemical-free fix.
Low pH
Acidic water that causes blue-green stains and pinhole leaks in copper pipe.
Order matters. An upper-county well often has iron, arsenic, and hardness at once. Iron has to come out first, and the arsenic has to be in the right form to remove. We design the whole sequence from your test results.

Buying or Selling a Home Near Centreville?
Since October 1, 2024, Maryland law (Real Property § 10-713) requires water quality testing as a condition of selling most homes with a private well. The seller provides the results in writing before settlement, and a buyer can waive the test only in writing.
We collect certified samples for Centreville-area buyers, sellers, and agents, and we can install a fix before closing if a test comes back with a problem.

Centreville Water Treatment FAQs
Who installs water treatment systems in Centreville, MD?
Lifewell Water Solutions installs and services water treatment across Centreville and upper Queen Anne's County. We're a locally owned, master plumber–led team based in Queenstown, just down Route 213.
Is there arsenic in Centreville town water?
The Town of Centreville's 2025 report lists arsenic up to 10.2 ppb from 2023 sampling, against a 10 ppb federal limit. Arsenic occurs naturally in the Aquia aquifer the town uses. A reverse osmosis system reduces arsenic in your drinking water.
Does my Queen Anne's County well have arsenic?
It might. Many county wells draw from the same Aquia aquifer as the town, and the Maryland Geological Survey has documented arsenic in the Aquia and Piney Point aquifers. A certified lab test is the only way to know.
Where does Centreville get its water?
The Town of Centreville draws from wells in the Aquia aquifer and treats the water with chlorine.
Do I need a water softener in Centreville?
It depends on your water. Hardness varies by well and aquifer. We measure it during your free test and only recommend a softener if your water needs one.
How much does water treatment cost in Centreville?
It depends on your water. A reverse osmosis system for town water costs much less than a multi-stage well system for iron, arsenic, and hardness. We start with a free in-home test, then give you a written quote from our printed price book.
Is the water test really free?
Yes. Our in-home test checks hardness, iron, pH, sulfur, and dissolved solids at no cost and with no obligation. Certified lab tests for arsenic, bacteria, nitrate, and lead are available when you need them.
Do you service water treatment systems you didn't install?
Yes. We repair, rebed, and maintain existing systems around Centreville. Tell us the brand and what it's doing when you call.
