City of Issaquah Public Works (city wells blended with Cascade Water Alliance supply from Seattle's Tolt and Cedar River system), which supplies Issaquah, reports hardness of about 58-93 mg/L as calcium carbonate at the city's wells (soft to moderately hard); South Lake Sammamish and Montreux receive only Cascade Water Alliance surface water.
