    • We don’t have access to real-time data and information at the moment. However, according to the 2020 Water Quality Report for Edgewater, Florida, published by the City of Edgewater Utilities Department, the water hardness level in the city’s water supply ranges from 90-120 parts per million (ppm) or 5.26-7.02 grains per gallon (gpg). This falls within the range of moderately hard water.
