Water Testing · Houston, TX
Home water testing in Houston & Fort Bend
Your utility's report shows averages across its system. A test at your own tap shows what your home actually gets.
Why test your own tap
- Its 2025 Water Quality Report lists Main System total hardness from 43.5 to 229 mg/L, averaging 135.5 mg/L. That works out to roughly 2.5 to 13.4 grains per gallon, about 7.9 on average (our conversion at 17.1 mg/L per grain).
- Hardness changes with source and location, and many Houston-area homes are on a MUD or other utility rather than the City system, so your tap can differ from the average.
Water varies by home, utility and MUD. Figures come from the public reports linked below.
