Water in New Orleans is Moderately Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in New Orleans is 6.8 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the moderately hard range. This means there’s a good 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.

New Orleans, LA water sources
A 2023 study by The Water Collaborative of Greater New Orleans revealed alarming levels of PFAS chemicals in southeast Louisiana’s drinking water supply. These synthetic chemicals, commonly known as ‘forever chemicals,’ were found at concentrations 200 to 268 times higher than EPA safety recommendations in the Mississippi River, which serves as the primary drinking water source for many New Orleans area communities. PFAS chemicals are particularly concerning because they break down very slowly over time and are present in the bloodstreams of 97% of Americans.
The Environmental Protection Agency warns that exposure to high levels of PFAS can cause serious health issues including decreased fertility, increased blood pressure in pregnant women, developmental delays in children, and elevated cancer risks. Currently, there are no federal regulations for PFAS in drinking water and no proven methods to completely remove them from water supplies. The 85-mile industrial corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, which houses 150 petrochemical plants, contributes to ongoing water contamination challenges that disproportionately affect local communities, making effective water treatment solutions essential for New Orleans homeowners.
