Why Linden Hills Residents Need a Water Softener
Linden Hills homes drink the same City supply as the rest of Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis 2025 record lists average total hardness of 94 mg/L (about 5.5 gpg), within a range of 80 to 113 mg/L, which the U.S. Geological Survey rates moderately hard. The City publishes no separate Linden Hills figure, so a test at your tap gives the number for your house.
The neighborhood was first developed in the 1880s, and the Como-Harriet streetcar line ran through it by 1891, so many homes carry decades of plumbing. HUD’s neighborhood profile lists a mix of ramblers, colonials, Tudors and bungalows. At 5.5 gpg, a household of four using about 300 gallons a day removes about 1,650 grains daily, so a 32,000-grain salt-based softener regenerates about every 19 days.

About Linden Hills Water Quality
The City of Minneapolis draws Mississippi River water, treats it at the Fridley and Columbia Heights plants and softens it with lime before distribution. Plant readings in 2025 ran from 5.1 gpg in March to 6.1 gpg in January. Your pipes and the age of your plumbing change what reaches the tap, which is why a home test matters in an older neighborhood.
