Ground water has spent time in contact with rock, and that contact is what puts calcium and magnesium into it. How much depends on what the rock is made of — limestone country produces the hardest water in the country.

Sublimity, City of serves 1,188 service connections. The number is self-reported to the EPA and current to 2026 Q2.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Sublimity, City of publishes an annual water quality report and the hardness figure is in it, so this costs you nothing but the time to look. The units differ on purpose-built confusion: mg/L on the report, grains per gallon on the equipment.

Size it yourself first. A bigger unit is not a safer one; EPA is explicit that oversizing wastes water. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
