Most of the water comes from Lake Allatoona in Acworth, just NW of Marietta. Like other area lakes, it's very low, and we are on a "level 4" drought warning. All outdoor watering is banned and certain other restrictions are in place.

Most of the water reports come back with passing grades, and no one I know of complains about "hard" water or has to use hard water treament tanks.

The water in Marietta is soft by nature. Normally hard water you will find in Florida due to the groundwater having to pass through limestone...which is why they use lime softening in water treatment.

You don't have to use the softening process in GA... its all surface water (well most of it is).
