When Marcus and I get around to moving again, I'm going to check out the local water before we settle. Aurora has got some of the hardest water I've ever had to deal with. Thank goodness for that CLR cleaner (Calcium Lime Rust) or I'd be screwed. Every couple of months I have to soak the shower head to get it to flow, run it through the coffee maker, etc. Combine those mineral deposits with the soap scum in the shower and its a nightmare. I hate to see what the inside of our water heater looks like after four years of this. I just soaked the head of the sink sprayer because I noticed yesterday while filling Skippy's water jug how little water was actually coming out of it. Byers and Colorado springs has had the best water of any place we've lived. It never took a whole day to clean the shower at either of those locations. Deer Trail's water wasn't hard, but it smelled like sulfur. Ick, I hated how I smelled after showering there.
