Why El Paso's water matters for price

El Paso Water's chemical analysis puts average hardness at about 175 mg/L (about 10.2 grains per gallon). The utility calls it moderately hard to hard. (Source: El Paso Water chemical analysis; El Paso Water quality FAQ) Harder water and bigger households need more softening capacity, which drives price (HomeGuide).
