Water drawn from a river or reservoir picks up much less mineral than water pulled from a well, because it has not been sitting in rock. Surface systems tend to deliver softer water than ground water systems in the same county.

Lyons Town of serves 962 service connections. Figures are what the system filed with the EPA, refreshed for the second quarter of 2026.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Start with the published figure. Lyons Town of reports hardness annually, and that number is what any honest quote gets built on. The units differ on purpose-built confusion: mg/L on the report, grains per gallon on the equipment.

Next, the calculation — people, gallons, grains. It is the difference between a checkable quote and a trusted one. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
