Local Notes for Raleigh
Raleigh Water (City of Raleigh Public Utilities), which supplies Raleigh, reports hardness of about 25 mg/L as CaCO3 (1.47 grains per gallon) on average, soft. 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. Source: City of Raleigh - Raleigh Water Reports
