What Chicago Owners Should Know
City of Chicago Department of Water Management (Lake Michigan source), which supplies Chicago, reports hardness of about 129-158 mg/L as CaCO3 across 2014 quarterly plant sampling (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.

In Illinois, you can check a license with the Illinois Department of Public Health Plumber License Search or report a problem to the Illinois Attorney General Consumer Fraud Bureau.
