Richardson is home to the Telecom Corridor, one of the densest concentrations of technology companies in the South, but the city's residential water supply remains stubbornly very hard at 15–17 grains per gallon through the NTMWD system. Many Richardson homeowners on fixed incomes or in aging 1970s and 1980s ranch homes are particularly vulnerable to the long-term cost of hard water damage to galvanized or copper pipes. Water softener installation in Richardson is a proven way to prevent costly plumbing repairs and keep monthly utility costs under control.

Richardson is served by the North Texas Municipal Water District with treated surface water from Lake Lavon and Lake Texoma. Measured hardness in Richardson typically falls between 250 and 290 mg/L (15–17 GPG). NTMWD uses chloramine disinfection throughout the regional distribution network. Richardson's mix of older single-family homes and newer high-density residential construction creates a varied landscape of plumbing conditions, but both benefit equally from whole-home water softening.
