Common Hard Water Issues in Gilbert
Gilbert has grown from a small farming community to one of the fastest-growing cities in America. The water supply draws heavily from CAP, but supplemental groundwater (particularly in the southeastern parts of the city) adds hardness. Gilbert homeowners often notice hard water damage in new construction within the first year.
