White spots on dishes and crust on the shower head in Riverbank? That’s hard water from the city’s wells.
Riverbank sits along the Stanislaus River, but its tap water doesn’t come from the river. The City of Riverbank runs on groundwater alone, from nine active wells. Its latest report puts hardness at 141 mg/L on average, ranging from 57 to 207 mg/L. At the high end that’s solidly hard water: white film on shower doors, scale in kettles, and spots on everything that air-dries.
Because it’s all well water, Riverbank’s water doesn’t get a seasonal surface-water blend to soften it. Nitrate averaged 4.1 mg/L (up to 6.4), under the 10 mg/L limit. Chlorine taste is the other thing Riverbank families most often ask us to remove.
