Water in Denver is Moderately Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Denver is 5.2 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the moderately hard range. This means there’s a significant amount of calcium and magnesium in the water here — two minerals that can build up over time and leave behind residue in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. This buildup can make things less efficient and even shorten the life of your home’s systems if left unchecked.

Denver, CO water sources
According to a recent 5280 Magazine investigation, Denver-area homeowners face five significant water quality threats that highlight the importance of proper water treatment solutions. The study identified lead contamination as a high-level threat, with Denver Water discovering in 2012 that 10% of tested samples exceeded EPA safety limits of 15 parts per billion. This contamination primarily stems from customer-owned service lines where lead leaches into treated water as it travels from utility mains to homes.
PFAS chemicals, known as “forever chemicals,” present another medium-high threat to Denver’s water supply. These substances, found in everyday products like nonstick cookware and water-repellent clothing, have been detected in at least 45% of the country’s tap water. In Colorado, environmental monitoring revealed that facilities were releasing PFAS into waterways that feed the South Platte River, a key water source for thousands of Denver-area residents. The report also highlighted risks from naturally occurring radium in groundwater, microplastics found in all 16 tested Front Range water bodies, and wildfire contamination that can damage water infrastructure and deposit harmful contaminants into distribution systems.
These findings demonstrate why Denver homeowners should consider comprehensive water treatment solutions. While Denver Water has implemented a Lead Reduction Program and treats approximately 600 million gallons daily for 1.5 million metropolitan residents, additional home filtration systems can provide extra protection against contaminants that may enter water after municipal treatment. The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment recommends certified filters for households in areas of concern, particularly for vulnerable populations including children under five and pregnant individuals who face higher health risks from water contamination.

Water filters and water softeners both help improve water quality by removing certain unwanted materials. Water filters focus on contaminants and chemicals, and often work by forcing water through some kind of barrier to trap debris and allow only cleaner, clearer water to pass through. Water softeners, on the other hand, work more like a magnet, pulling away minerals and impurities that cause hard water.
