Your local water, explained
Verified city results. No borrowed hardness estimate.
Denton's 2025 report provides chloramine and contaminant results but does not quantify hardness in the reviewed tables. Filtration can still be considered; a current hardness test establishes whether a softener belongs in the plan.

ppm ≈ mg/L; ppb ≈ µg/L; ppt ≈ ng/L in drinking water. Hardness in gpg = mg/L as CaCO₃ ÷ 17.1. ND means not detected at the method’s reporting limit—not zero.
MCL is a maximum contaminant level. MRDL is a disinfectant limit. Lead/copper action levels use system sampling percentiles and are not a safe-tap threshold. TTHM/HAA5 compliance uses locational annual averages.
PFOA/PFOS comparisons use EPA’s 4 ppt values. Historical detections are not a present compliance finding; EPA assesses compliance using running annual averages. Rule implementation is being reviewed. EPA PFAS benchmarks and implementation ↗

Source water. Denton treats surface water from Lake Lewisville and Lake Ray Roberts. These are its own utility sources; NTMWD hardness should not be substituted for Denton municipal water.
Continue with your home details for general filtration guidance. We will not use another utility’s numbers as your result.

More about your local water
City of Denton treats water from Lake Lewisville and Lake Ray Roberts. NTMWD plant hardness from Frisco or Plano is not a substitute for Denton municipal data. A missing hardness value is not a zero or a soft-water result.
A useful local question
Yes. Filtration for the identified treatment and taste goals can be considered while hardness is measured separately. A softener treats hardness minerals; it is not a substitute for choosing the correct filter.
We keep each utility’s results separate, show the reported sample year, and distinguish averages, maxima and tap-sampling percentiles. Hardness classifications use USGS ranges. Missing data stays unknown.
