Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), which supplies Los Angeles, reports hardness of varies by area and source blend: about 124-137 mg/L (moderately hard) for LA Aqueduct filtration plant water, rising to roughly 300 mg/L (very hard) where Metropolitan Water District Colorado River supplies or local groundwater are used, as in parts of eastern LA and the Harbor area. 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.
