Hume, Missouri
Hume PWS Consumer Confidence Report opened from Missouri DNR generated Consumer Confidence Report (Hume, MO1010388). Hardness as CaCO3 5 mg/L on the opened Missouri DNR CCR table. The opened Missouri DNR generated CCR lists disinfection by-products but does not print a usable residual type we can cite without inventing one. No Measure S-style residential softener ban turned up.

Best match for Hume
Whole-house carbon — match chlorine vs chloramine
No district prohibition on a brine drain turned up in the current file.
Open the CCR for chlorine vs chloramine, then match that claim. A 42 chlorine listing is not chloramine.
Also for the kitchen
Under-sink reverse osmosis
The under-sink RO we actually run is Cloud RO — NSF/ANSI 58, kitchen tap, not a whole-house tank. Check the exact listing if PFAS is why you are shopping. Shop Amazon first for under-sink RO, or buy Cloud direct. Waterdrop is a tankless option if you want that path. A certifier-listed pitcher is the cheap first step. Nobody is paying for a medical claim.

Do not buy a softener on this supply
This supply is soft on the published numbers. A salt tank is usually the wrong box unless you are on a well or a different utility. Test the tap before you buy hardness equipment.

Extra context besides the utility report and the chart above — geology, an unregulated table, or a published study. Not a second set of printed tap numbers.
- MicroplasticsWHO’s 2019 review examined studies that found microplastic particles in treated tap and bottled water in many places. That is a published-occurrence finding, not a number from this city’s water-quality report, and we do not invent a particles-per-liter count for the tap.Microplastics in drinking-water — World Health Organization
- PFASEPA’s Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule required community systems this size to test 29 PFAS and lithium in 2023–2025. Open the UCMR 5 Data Finder for this PWS.

Hume drinking water on this file is Hume PWS. Searched city water and sewer pages for a residential self-regenerating softener or brine-drain ban like LACSD Measure S. None turned up. Ask the sewer agency on the bill before you cut a brine drain. This is not a legal opinion.
The opened report prints Hardness as CaCO3 5 mg/L on the opened Missouri DNR CCR table.

Kitchen shopping stays the Cloud RO / Waterdrop path already used on other cities if a listing is why you are looking.
