Also: 2 utilities’ own water quality reports, read by hand, each named on the utility’s page.
Bands are the U.S. Geological Survey’s, at 17.1 mg/L to the grain. People served is what each utility reports; where one sells water to another, the same people can be counted twice. How hardness is measured here.
