Veritas draws the water for Mogliano Veneto mostly from wells in the groundwater fields of the Veneto plain, and at peak demand adds treated river water from the Sile at the Ca' Solaro plant. The utility reports 203.0 mg/L CaCO₃, which counts as very hard water. Expect scale on kettles, shower heads and in the water heater, and descaling about as often as a hard-water kitchen requires.

What it means at home

- An ion-exchange softener is practically essential; RO for drinking water.
How much salt will you use for softening?
