Sixty percent from
the regional plant.
Orem reports two very different supplies. Its own sources run 7 to 25 grains per gallon — 120 to 428 mg/L — while the Central Utah district plant that provides roughly 60 percent of the city's water runs 6.55 to 9. A softener sized for the high end of the city wells is the wrong machine for a house mostly on plant water.

- Hardness scaleThe USGS classifies water above 180 mg/L as calcium carbonate (about 10.5 grains per gallon) as very hard, 121 to 180 mg/L as hard, and 61 to 120 mg/L as moderately hard. USGS
We publish the utility's own figures and link them so you can check us. Your tap is still what counts — hardness moves with the source and the season — so we measure before we size anything.
