Sabesp reports 41.0 mg/L CaCO₃ for Campo Limpo Paulista in São Paulo state, with samples between 37.0 and 45.0 mg/L. That is soft water and a narrow spread, so the figure should hold across the network. Scale in kettles and heaters is likely to build slowly. The source water is not named in the SISAGUA data we used.
Portaria GM/MS nº 888/2021 sets a maximum of 300 mg/L CaCO₃ for total hardness (dureza total); operators report it in mg/L to SISAGUA.
