If you move to great falls or some of the outer burbs, you can get your own well water, not city water. |

Hard doesnt mean water is badn just like soft doesnt mean it is good.
There are suggestions that hard water protects against heart disease. Can muck up your appliances though and stops shampoo/shower gel etc from lathering.
