Running Springs, California
Running Springs Water District 2025 Consumer Confidence Report. Hardness 47 / 210 / 75 / 90 / 1 / 100 / 130 on a labeled hardness row in the 2025 tables. The row is not labeled as CaCO3 in the extracted text, so this file does not assign a hardness class from it. Opened Running Springs Water District booklet. Confirm the bill — this file is that PWS, not every address in Running Springs. Open the 2025 report for the residual disinfectant. The type did not extract cleanly. No Measure S-style ban turned up — check the sewer agency on the bill.

Best match for Running Springs
Whole-house carbon — match chlorine vs chloramine
Check the sanitation district before installing a salt system.
Open the CCR for chlorine vs chloramine, then match that claim. A 42 chlorine listing is not chloramine.

Other options that still fit
Confirm hardness on the current CCR before buying
Open the current CCR for grains. This file does not invent a number from a ranking site. A salt softener needs a drain if it is legal at the address.

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.

Test the tap first
A homeowner kit is a start. It is not a state-certified lab. Use a certified lab when the decision is expensive.

- Check the sanitation district before installing.

Ask the agency on the sewer bill before you cut a brine drain.

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.

The 2025 report prints Hardness 47 / 210 / 75 / 90 / 1 / 100 / 130 on a labeled hardness row in the 2025 tables. The row is not labeled as CaCO3 in the extracted text, so this file does not assign a hardness class from it. Open the 2025 report for the residual disinfectant. The type did not extract cleanly. Kitchen shopping stays the Cloud RO / Waterdrop path already used on other cities if a listing is why you are looking.
