The short version
Households in Belton are served by Hammond W/D (SC0420007), drawing surface water. Water taken from a river or a reservoir has had little chance to pick up hardness, and often does not need treating. Read the hardness line in the annual report before letting anybody specify a softener for the house.

Where the water comes fromSurface water in Belton
A surface water system takes from a river, lake or reservoir. The contact with mineral-bearing rock is brief compared with an aquifer, which is why surface supplies generally test softer.
Hammond W/D (SC0420007) serves 8,645 service connections. That count comes from the system's own filing with the EPA, current to the 2026 second-quarter refresh.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure
The figure you need is already published: Hammond W/D (SC0420007) issues an annual water quality report, and hardness is one of the lines on it. Whatever it reads in milligrams per liter, divide by seventeen before comparing it with anything a softener is rated at.
The sizing calculation is a single multiplication, and doing it yourself turns a quote into something you can check. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
