Midway, Utah Water Hardness & Water Softener Guide
Midway does not publish a hardness figure. State lab sampling of the individual wells and springs that feed the city has returned 223-514 mg/L as CaCO3 — a spread, not a single tap number.

Why there is a range and not a number
Midway publishes no single figure. What exists is Utah Division of Drinking Water lab results for each well and spring, and they differ from one another. How to read a range.
Worth knowing: Sources differ enormously - Alpenhof-Weber Well 514 in 2026 vs springs 223-314 in 1991-92.
Your tap receives a blend, so treat the range as the bracket your water falls inside, not as your number.
What Midway’s hardness means in practice
Sizing is arithmetic once you have a number. At 30.1 grains per gallon — the top of that range, because a softener sized for the soft months lets hardness through in the hard ones — a household using the EPA average of more than 300 gallons a day sends roughly 9,018 grains of hardness through its plumbing every day. Over a year that is about 470 pounds of scale-forming calcium and magnesium passing through the water heater and the fixtures.
Against that load a 32,000-grain softener would regenerate roughly every 3.5 days and a 48,000-grain unit about every 5.3 days. Those are first estimates off the figure Midway publishes, not a quote: your own use, any iron in the water, and whether you want softened water at the kitchen tap all move the answer, which is why we measure at your tap before sizing anything.
What CASA recommends in Midway
The state samples bracket Midway’s sources across a wide range and your tap gets a blend, so we size to your reading rather than to the bracket.
