ANSWER FIRST
Read the report before choosing equipment
The City report and a property test answer different questions. The municipal report describes monitoring across the public system; it cannot identify the condition of a particular kitchen faucet, aging supply pipe or existing filter. Confirm the supplier shown on the water bill before treating a Henderson mailing address as proof of City service.
Read the report for its monitoring period, regulated results and public notices. Then define the household goal: mineral scale, taste, drinking-water preference or a specific laboratory concern. Regional hardness guidance helps frame a conversation but does not replace the measurement used to program a softener.

Read the year before the number
The 2026 title is the publication year; the report describes 2025 monitoring. Read a table's own sampling date before treating a result as current. For hardness, compare the City's typical 304 ppm / 18 gpg reference with SNWA's regional 280 ppm / 16 gpg guidance; neither is your service-entry test.
Understand the hardness measurements · Separate compliance from a property concern
Which Henderson water information applies to your home?
- City report and dates
- The City announced its 2026 report on June 2, 2026, covering January–December 2025 monitoring. This is public-system evidence, not your tap result.
- Source and treatment
- The City describes SNWA supply treated at Alfred Merritt Smith or River Mountains and delivered by Henderson. Regional groundwater contributions are not evidence that a particular home has a private well.
- Two hardness references
- Henderson's current report webpage describes typical hardness as 304 ppm / 18 gpg. SNWA's regional home-treatment guide gives 280 ppm / 16 gpg. These are separately published guidance values; do not average them or program equipment without a property measurement.
Check the supplier on the bill and the actual service address before applying this information. A neighborhood name, ZIP code or Henderson mailing address does not establish utility service or provider coverage.

Local evidence and its limits
The City 2026 report covers 2025 monitoring. SNWA regional guidance describes the broader water context; public-system results are not a measurement at your tap. Confirm your supplier and relevant property measurements. Sources reviewed 2026-10-18.
