I live in a city with extremely hard water.  It's all surface run-off,
but still hard.

There are two ways to get lime into your water.  You can run the water
through limestone like many wells.  Or you can grind the rock up very
fine and mix it with your water.  The beautiful pale blue of so many
lakes in the Rockies comes from glacier-ground rock mixed into the
water.

Not relevant to "The Martian" or otherwise at all related to
terraforming Mars, but I find it interesting.
