What Cincinnati Owners Should Know
Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW), which supplies Cincinnati, reports hardness of about 125 mg/L (7 gpg) from the Miller plant (Ohio River) and about 138 mg/L (8 gpg) from the Bolton plant (groundwater), per GCWW's annual report (moderately 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.

Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.

In Ohio, you can check a license with the Ohio Department of Commerce OCILB Company Licensee Lookup or report a problem to the Ohio Attorney General, Consumer Protection Section.
