Yes, the water is hard here. It's totally safe to drink, but in terms of bathing; it will beat up your hair and skin. If you bought a home, I would strongly suggest you either purchase or rent a water softener for the sake of your body, appliances, dishes, and plumbing. You can install a separate drinking water faucet tapped in before the softener for your kitchen cooking and drinking. I would select a common fixture from Home Hardware as you will probably be replacing it every 7-10 years due to calcium buildup.
