Local Notes for McLean
Fairfax Water, which supplies McLean, reports hardness of 5-10 grains per gallon (about 84-170 mg/L), moderately hard to hard; varies by location and rainfall. 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.
