Where the water comes fromSurface water in Amity

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.

Amity, City of serves 702 service connections. The number is self-reported to the EPA and current to 2026 Q2.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Before anyone visits, pull the hardness figure out of the annual report Amity, City of publishes. It settles most of the question on its own. 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.
