Yes, they easily exist together in water.
One of the most important reasons is that alcohols do not ionize in water solutions, as metal hydroxides do. This is one of the consequences of another important difference: Alcohols exist at standard temperature as discrete, covalently bonded molecules, but metal hydroxides are ionically bonded and do not contain discrete molecules.
Metal hydroxides dissolved in water form basic solutions, with a pH greater than 7.
Metals of the 1st group form hydroxides by reacting with water. When metal anions react with other hydroxides, metal hydroxides are formed. Silver hydroxide is unstable.

Hard water contains carbonates and bicarbonates of calcium and Magnesium.
Metal hydroxides make alkaline solutions.(e.g sodium hydroxide) Pascal

Clarifiers are chemicals that can be modified with small changes in pH so that they will form bulky hydroxides in the water. As the hydroxides age they shrink and become less bouyant so they slowly settle out of the water. The hydroxides form around particles in the water, they will collide with other bouyant particles as they fall and will sweep them out of the water. The Hydroxides will concentrate at the bottom of waters and can be removed by decanting. Flocs can assist the removal by collecting and concentrating the hydroxide into filterable particles.

No, most hydroxides are insoluble in water.
1. Only the temporary hardness of water (caused by bicarbonates) is decreased by boiling: bicarbonates were transformed in insoluble carbonates and these compounds become a precipitate. 2. The permanent hardness is not influenced by temperature.
