Local Notes for Washington
DC Water (District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority), which supplies Washington, reports hardness of moderately hard: typically 70-120 ppm (about 3-9 grains per gallon), generally higher in warmer months and lower in winter. 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.
