in Mwananyamala ward, three (3) boreholes in Kimara ward and four (4) boreholes in Mbezi ward making 83% of the tested boreholes to have either hard or excessively hard water. The total hardness in borehole water may be mainly due to calcium attributed to anthropogenic activities, influx runoff, and/or natural processes within the aquifer (Oparaocha (2010), Praveen (2008) & RadhaKrishnan (2007). et al., et al., et al.,
