City of Lancaster Bureau of Water, which supplies Lancaster, reports hardness of about 98 mg/L (6 grains per gallon) from the Susquehanna plant and 222 mg/L (13 grains per gallon) from the Conestoga plant (moderately hard to 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.
