Where Saratoga Springs’s water comes from
Saratoga Springs’s water comes primarily from Wells and Central Utah Project. As that water moves through Utah’s mineral-rich geology it picks up calcium and magnesium — the minerals that make water hard and leave scale behind.
Is 23 grains per gallon hard?
Yes. Water above 7 gpg is considered hard, so Saratoga Springs at 23 gpg is extremely hard — among the hardest water in the country. Hard water shortens the life of water heaters and appliances, spots dishes and glass, clogs fixtures, and dries skin and hair.
