County estimate

Water samples from around Vineland put hardness at about 26 mg/L (1.5 gpg), which would be soft on the USGS scale. Treat this as a rough guide: it is the median of 573 samples taken across Cumberland County, mostly wells and streams, not a test of Vineland's treated tap water.

What 26 mg/L means at home

Soap and shampoo lather with very little product. Kettles and showerheads stay mostly free of white crust.

Some people notice that soap feels slow to rinse off in soft water. That slippery feel is normal and harmless.

Hardness is not a health problem, and EPA sets no limit for it. It is a matter of scale and soap.

What to do about it

Nothing, as far as hardness goes. At 26 mg/L a softener would have almost nothing to remove.

Carbon filter

If the water tastes of chlorine, a pitcher or faucet carbon filter takes care of that. It does not change hardness.

EPA record for Vineland's water system

We could not match Vineland to a community water system in EPA's records. Your water bill or the yearly Consumer Confidence Report names the system and its ID.
