Around Lexington
Kentucky American Water (Central Division), which supplies Lexington, reports hardness of about 149-161 mg/L as CaCO3 on average (about 9 grains per gallon) across its Lexington-area treatment plants (moderately hard to hard). Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
