Somerset County water hardness
Somerset County's northern hill towns are on NJ American Water's Short Hills system; the Raritan valley municipalities draw from separate supplies.
Across the 6 Somerset County municipalities with published figures, hardness averages 9.8 grains per gallon — hard water on the USGS scale. Because most towns here buy treated water rather than produce it, neighbouring municipalities on the same system report the same number; the systems represented below are Short Hills Service System.
