Water in Cincinnati is Very Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Cincinnati is 12.3 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the very hard range. This means there’s a lot 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.

Cincinnati, OH water sources
Recent data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reveals that PFAS chemicals, commonly known as “forever chemicals,” have been detected in drinking water across Greater Cincinnati communities at varying levels. While Cincinnati’s water supply shows rare detection of these industrial pollutants, some surrounding areas including Indian Hill, Terrace Park, and Loveland have measured PFAS levels three to four times higher than EPA minimum reporting limits. Northern Kentucky communities and Colerain and Springfield townships also show trace amounts exceeding reporting thresholds.
According to University of Cincinnati environmental health expert Dr. Susan Pinney, PFAS compounds have a four-year half-life in the human body and accumulate over time with regular exposure, earning them the “forever chemicals” designation. Her research has linked these compounds to serious health effects including cancer and developmental delays in children. The challenge for Cincinnati-area communities lies in the expensive process of overhauling water treatment systems to address these contaminants, making effective water filtration solutions increasingly important for homeowners seeking to protect their families from long-term exposure to these persistent chemicals.
