Around Birmingham

Birmingham Water Works Board, which supplies Birmingham, reports hardness of 40-156 mg/L total hardness (soft to hard, varies by source/treatment plant). 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.
