Did you know... That Myrtle Beach’s treated tap water is classified as “soft?” Hardness is a property of water related to the dissolved minerals in it, notably calcium and magnesium. According to Grand Strand Water and Sewer Authority, which supplies our treated tap water for drinking, etc., the current average hardness for Myrtle Beach’s water is 54 mg/L, and that’s soft. Water is considered “soft” if it has between 0 and 60 milligrams per liter (mg/L), “moderately hard” if it has between 61 and 120 mg/L, “hard” if it has between 121 and 180 mg/L, and “very hard” if it has more than 180 mg/L of those minerals. “Soft” it is!
