What Albuquerque Owners Should Know
Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority, which supplies Albuquerque, reports hardness of moderately hard to hard, depending on the sources and blend serving each distribution zone. 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. Source: ABCWUA: Your Drinking Water FAQs
New Mexico has no appliance-repair-only license; installing, repairing and servicing natural gas piping and listed gas appliances falls under the Construction Industries Division's MM-2 natural gas fitting classification. Source: CID License Classifications and Scopes (City of Albuquerque)
