Isn groundwater typically harder than surface water? Would I need a water softener with the new system?
You will not need a water softener if a new water system is constructed. While groundwater is typically harder than surface water, the JWC plans to deploy a conventional lime softening process like that used by Minneapolis. An assumption throughout the JWC’s studies has been that a new water system should provide water of similar water quality compared to that which customers enjoy today.
