Hudson Town of serves 598 service connections. The number is self-reported to the EPA and current to 2026 Q2.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

The annual water quality report from Hudson Town of carries the hardness figure. Get it first, because everything downstream depends on it. Whatever it reads in milligrams per liter, divide by seventeen before comparing it with anything a softener is rated at.

Then run the arithmetic: it tells you the capacity you need rather than the capacity you are offered. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
