Hardness

We do not state a hardness for any system, and this is why. Hardness here would come from environmental monitoring stations that happen to sit inside your water system’s service area. We checked that method against the figures twenty large utilities publish about their own supply: it agreed with the utility fewer than half the time, and where it was wrong it usually read HIGH. Cities supplied from a distant watershed came off worst, because the stations end up sampling local groundwater nobody drinks. We are paid a referral fee when somebody asks for an installer, so a number that overstates hardness is the last error we are willing to publish. Your utility publishes its own hardness in its annual water quality report, and that figure is the one to trust.
