182 area monitoring wellsmoderately hard water is typical0 utility reports (you’re on a well)
You’re on a private well, so no utility treats or tests your water, and no report covers it. Below is what groundwater across Hernando County actually looks like, drawn from 182 monitoring wells - so you know what’s typical here. It is not a reading from your specific well.
Typical area groundwater
Two wells on the same street can test completely differently - it depends on your depth, your aquifer, and your own equipment. The averages above tell you what to expect. The only way to know what’s in your well is to test it at your tap.

AquiferMost Southwest Florida wells draw from the Floridan and surficial/intermediate aquifer systems. Groundwater here tends to be very hard (limestone), and near the coast it can carry higher salt (chloride) and a sulfur smell.
These figures describe typical groundwater across the county, drawn from public monitoring-well records - not a sample from your well, and not what your own pump, pipes, and equipment add. Informational; not a substitute for testing your own water.
