Water Hardness in the County of Brant | ||||||||||||||||||
The County of Brant’s Airport, Mt. Pleasant, Paris and St. George municipal drinking water systems rely on groundwater (wells) for their drinking water supply. For Cainsville, drinking water is provided by the City of Brantford with the Grand River as the source. Drinking water in these 5 systems is considered to be very hard water. Water is considered hard when it contains large amounts of dissolved calcium, magnesium and other minerals. The minerals contributing to hardness (mainly calcium and magnesium) are safe to drink but create scale build-up in pipes, appliances, water heaters and on dishes. As a result, residents in areas with hard water often use water softeners to remove the hardness of water. Water Hardness in the County of Brant Municipal Drinking Water Systems
