Bostic, Town of serves 375 service connections. That is drawn from the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Act file, 2026 Q2 refresh.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Start with the published figure. Bostic, Town of reports hardness annually, and that number is what any honest quote gets built on. It will be given in milligrams per liter. Softeners are sized in grains per gallon, and one grain is about 17 mg/L.

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.
