New York City Department of Environmental Protection (Catskill/Delaware and Croton supplies), which supplies Manhattan, reports hardness of 16-90 mg/L as CaCO3, averaging 25 mg/L (about 1 grain per gallon; 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.
