Colorado water hardness

1 Colorado system with a hardness figure read from an official page, each on the retrieval date printed against it below. This is not a list of every utility in Colorado; it is the list of those whose published figure has been verified here.

mg/L as calcium carbonate. Each classification band is drawn the same width, so the axis is not linear in mg/L.

Colorado systems on the USGS classification. Each row links to that system's published figure, report year and conversion. Grains per gallon are the utility's own figure where it published one, and our conversion at 17.1 mg/L per grain where it did not.

If your Colorado system is not above

Only 1 Colorado system has been transcribed here, so most Colorado readers will not find theirs. Find the water system that serves you walks through the free EPA search that names your system and the EPA lookup that finds its annual report, which is the document that carries a hardness figure for your water. There is no ZIP-code hardness figure on this site, and that page explains why a ZIP code cannot carry one honestly: a ZIP code is a postal boundary and a water system is a pipe network, and they do not line up.
