Where the water comes fromSurface water in Christiansburg

This is a surface water supply, which matters for hardness: the water has not spent years in an aquifer dissolving calcium out of stone. Expect a lower figure than a neighboring town on wells.

Christiansburg Town of serves 10,842 service connections. The number is self-reported to the EPA and current to 2026 Q2.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

You do not need a test kit to start. Christiansburg Town of publishes hardness in its annual water quality report, free to read. Expect it in milligrams per liter; equipment is sized in grains per gallon. The conversion is roughly 17 to one.

With the figure in hand, sizing is one multiplication — water per person, times hardness, times people. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
