HOW HARD IS NEVADA’S WATER?

200 ppm. That is 11.7 grains per gallon.
The Nevada SUD 2025 water quality report lists a total hardness of 200 ppm as its highest result, with a reported range of 96 to 200 ppm (5.6 to 11.7 grains per gallon). On the USGS hardness scale that is moderately hard to very hard water.
COMMON SIGNS OF HARD WATER
What 11.7 grains per gallon looks like at home.
At about 11.7 grains per gallon, every one of these shows up in Nevada sooner or later. The water test tells you how soon.
Cloudy glassware and white spots the dishwasher cannot rinse off: about 11.7 grains of dried mineral per gallon.
The white crust is limescale. It narrows spray holes and seizes aerators and valves.
Calcium and magnesium react with soap before it foams: more soap, and scum on tubs and shower doors.
The same soap curd settles on skin and hair and does not rinse away.
Minerals bind to fabric and detergent. Towels come out stiff, whites go grey, colors fade sooner.
Scale coats heating elements and clogs small valves, so appliances work harder and fail sooner.
NEVADA’S WATER, BY HARDNESS
District water from the Wylie plant, 96 to 200 ppm in the 2025 report
Nevada Special Utility District pumps no wells. Its 2025 water quality report describes the supply as surface water bought from the North Texas Municipal Water District and treated at the district's Wylie plant, with Lavon Lake as the source reservoir, and it reports a water loss of just 3.8 percent for the year, so nearly all of what the district buys reaches a customer's meter. Because the district owns no source, the state's source-water assessment went to the regional district rather than to Nevada SUD. The Wylie complex itself treats a blend of Lavon Lake and Lake Texoma water, by the regional district's description, and the district says its finished water is considered moderately hard, chiefly because of the minerals in Lavon Lake, minerals it describes as harmless but prone to leaving lime scale. Federal facility records show how the district moves that water once it arrives, to 1,686 connections: a pump station at FM 1138 and Highway 66 with a 0.1 million gallon ground tank and two 550 gallon-per-minute pumps, a second at 1214 East FM 6 with a 0.2 million gallon ground tank and pumps rated 1,100, 1,100 and 500 gallons a minute, and elevated tanks of 0.2 million gallons on West FM 6 and 0.1 million gallons at the Warren Street office.
The 200 ppm figure on this page comes straight from page 10 of Nevada SUD's 2025 report, in the table of secondary constituents it reprints from the Wylie plant data. Total hardness as calcium carbonate is listed at 200 ppm as the highest level detected, with a range of 96.0 to 200 for the year, and the report attributes it to naturally occurring calcium. The same table shows the pieces: calcium at 31.2 to 61.3 ppm and magnesium at 6.27 to 9.44 ppm. Alongside them sit sodium at 41.9 to 88.0 ppm, total alkalinity from 43.6 to 138 ppm, sulfate from 84.7 to 147, chloride from 29.0 to 92.5 and 182 to 455 ppm of total dissolved solids, with pH between 7.3 and 8.8. On the USGS scale, 96 ppm is moderately hard and 200 ppm is very hard. In grains per gallon, using the regional district's divisor of 17.12, the span is about 5.6 grains at the bottom and about 11.7 at the top.
Because every drop in Nevada SUD's lines is Wylie water, a home in town and a home out on a farm road receive the same mineral load on the same day; what changes is the day. The district's report adds two local details: it disinfects with chloramines and samples disinfection by-products at 544 Hubbard Circle and 621 West FM 6, and its 2025 service line inventory found no lead or galvanized service lines needing replacement. The district's range runs more than two to one from bottom to top, moving with the lake blend, rainfall and season, so a water heater that stays clean through a wet spring can scale quickly in a dry late summer. Sodium at up to 88 ppm is part of the same lake chemistry and arrives whether or not a home softens its water. The same table shows iron below detection, so a Nevada softener deals with lake minerals alone, chiefly calcium carbonate, with no well iron to foul it. For a softener, the figure that matters is the 200 at the top of the range, not a yearly average. A unit sized to about 12 grains covers Nevada's hardest month, and our free water test gives you the exact reading at your tap on the day we visit.

HOW A SOFTENER WORKS
Ion exchange, salt and regeneration.
One tank of resin, one tank of salt, and a valve that runs the cycle.
Resin beads hold sodium ions. Calcium and magnesium swap onto the beads as water passes, and the water leaves at close to zero grains.
When the beads fill up, brine from the salt tank rinses the hardness to the drain and reloads the sodium, metered by the gallons you use.
Calcium, magnesium and a little dissolved iron. Not chlorine, chloramine, PFAS, lead or taste: that is a filter’s job, so see whole house water filtration for Nevada, and a reverse osmosis tap or bottled water delivery for drinking water.
A salt-free water conditioner turns hardness into crystals that stay in the water instead of on heaters and pipes: no salt, no drain, less scale, no relief for soap and skin.
HARDNESS QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
The hard water FAQ for Nevada.
Is Nevada’s water hard?
Yes, in most months. Nevada SUD's 2025 report prints total hardness of 96.0 to 200 ppm for the Wylie plant water it buys, about 5.6 to 11.7 grains per gallon, moderately hard when the lake blend runs soft and very hard at its peak. Expect spots on glassware and scale in water heaters, more so in the hardest months.
Is hard water safe to drink?
Yes. Hardness is calcium and magnesium, minerals with no federal drinking-water limit. It is a plumbing, appliance, soap and skin problem, not a health one.
Does a softener make my water salty?
No. The salt goes down the drain at regeneration; the water carries a little sodium in proportion to the hardness removed, which a reverse osmosis tap removes again.
THE SOURCE MATTERS
Where the number comes from.
Each figure is read from the document linked beside it, in its own units and period. A missing result stays missing; a range stays a range.
