Yeah, the city made that one of their selling points in asking us to pay $3500 to get hooked up.
The city water is surface water from one of the local rivers, which is 100% runoff from snowpack in the sierras about 70 miles to the east. Its filtered, minimally processed and lightly chlorinated. Kinda good for california as we're right at the head-end of where most of the water comes from for the state and we arent terribly dependent on rainfall or reservoir/lake levels.
The city water is about 20-40ppm 'hardness', while the well water we're using is 360-380ppm and gets reduced to ~25ppm by my softener.
