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

Michigan 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 Michigan system is not above

Only 1 Michigan system has been transcribed here, so most Michigan 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.
