Water hardness is defined as the level of mineral content in water. It is of interest to consumers because high values tend to create scaling in fixtures and appliances. The hardness in Tampa’s source water varies widely depending on time of year and rainfall. The City’s treatment process includes measures to maintain the total hardness between 80-280 mg/L in the finished water.
