Disclosure

Last updated 24 October 2026. This page says how WaterProfile Local makes money and what it does not take money for.

Advertising

WaterProfile Local does not show advertising today. Display advertising through Google AdSense is the planned way to pay for hosting and upkeep. When it is switched on, this page and the privacy policy change at the same time to say so.

Affiliate links

There are none. Links on WaterProfile Local go to the sources it cites, such as utility reports, the USGS and manufacturers' manuals, and the site earns nothing when you follow them. It does not sell softeners, filters or test kits. If an affiliate program is ever joined, this page will say so first, and every such link will be labelled on the page where it appears.

Sponsorship and payments

No utility, agency, manufacturer, retailer or water-treatment company has paid for, reviewed or approved a page. There are no sponsored posts, paid placements or paid reviews.

Editorial independence

Hardness figures come only from each utility's own published report, with the report year and retrieval date on every page; the methodology page lists the sources and the utilities that were checked and left out. Advertising never decides which utilities are covered, which figures appear or how they are described, and no page is written to sell treatment equipment. WaterProfile Local is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any utility, agency or manufacturer named on the site.
