Evidence status

Coverage model: Municipal + MUD context

Match the account to PWS TX0790023 or TX0790393 before using any measurement.

Partial measurements

Richmond’s official report separates the Main System from Riverpark West/MUD 121. The Main System also supplies named MUD customers, so a Richmond mailing address is not enough to select the correct table.

LADS interpretation

What the evidence means—and does not mean

  • The 167 mg/L hardness value belongs to the City reporting context, not every Richmond postal address.
  • Main System and Riverpark West results differ and must remain attached to their PWS IDs.
  • Verify current hardness at the untreated tap before equipment sizing.
Measured fact

Values above stay tied to their named system, units, sample or report year, and official source.

Publisher interpretation

Planning language is educational context. It is not an official safety determination, diagnosis, ranking, or equipment prescription.
