Sandy's last published
figure is from 2019.
The most recent hardness figure Sandy has published is from 2019: 181 mg/L in groundwater and 180 to 186 mg/L in surface water, about 10.6 grains per gallon. Later reports drop hardness entirely. Sandy's wells also tend to run only part of the year, so a seven-year-old average across a seasonal blend is the weakest starting point of any city here.

- 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.

Sandy published 181 mg/L groundwater and 180 to 186 mg/L surface water in 2019 and has dropped hardness from its reports since. Its wells typically run only seasonally, so the mix behind that number has probably moved. Measuring is not optional here.
