You might get lots of minerals & nutrients that sometimes get filtered out
of treated water, but other than that - take a look around at the things
that grow naturally - if they don't have problems, it's a good chance that
you won't either

Well, we don't have that problem in Wyandotte county, KS.
They don't do much in the way of water treatment here.
The water is so hard you could float a brick. Sometimes it's
as if they just strain out the tree limbs and body parts.
Does anybody know if hard water will have an adverse effect
on the gardens? Will it eventually screw up the soil pH? I
don't want to part with the 4 grand to put in a whole house
system, and those pitcher filter things wouldn't be feasible.
