Water in Augusta is Moderately Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Augusta is 3.7 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the moderately hard range. This means there’s a fair 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.

Augusta, GA water sources
According to a March 2024 EPA report covered by FOX 5 Atlanta, the Augusta area has been found to have PFAS (polyfluorinated alkyl substances) contamination levels that are 1606.7% higher than EPA minimum reporting levels. These synthetic compounds, commonly known as “forever chemicals,” have contaminated drinking water systems across Georgia, potentially exposing over 1 million residents to substances that don’t degrade in the environment and have been present for decades.
PFAS chemicals have been linked to serious health concerns in laboratory studies, including potential connections to kidney and testicular cancers, high blood pressure, and low birth weight. These compounds were historically used in nonstick cookware, food packaging, and firefighting foam. While the EPA is working on new federal regulations that would set strict limits of 4 parts per trillion for common PFAS compounds, Augusta area residents currently face exposure levels significantly above recommended thresholds, highlighting the critical importance of effective water treatment solutions for local homeowners.

Frequently asked questions
-
With Augusta’s water averaging 3.68 grains per gallon, a water softener can help reduce mineral buildup that may dry out your hair and skin. Hard water can make soaps less effective, but softened water helps restore balance for healthier-looking hair and smoother skin after every wash.
-
One of the biggest benefits of filtering water is to help reduce harmful contaminants, impurities and chemicals, along with unwanted minerals and bacteria. The filtering process can also lead to a better taste and smell, which encourages hydration and wellness.
-
A water softener targets minerals in hard water with an ion exchange process. A water filter focuses on removing contaminants and bacteria, typically by forcing water through some form of barrier to separate the clean water from the unwanted substances.
-
Several signs can indicate the benefit of a water filter, including water that tastes weird or has a bad odor. In addition, scale buildup and shower heads getting clogged easily can indicate the need for a filter. The best way to determine whether you need water treatment is to schedule a free water test from our local office in Augusta.
-
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a drinking water purification process that helps remove unwanted substances from tap water by pushing water through a special barrier called a semipermeable membrane. This barrier blocks heavy metals (like lead), arsenic, PFAS, chlorine, and chemicals, so only purified water is passed through. The result is water with 99.9% of all contaminants, sediments, and particles removed, making crisper, cleaner, and safer drinking water.
