Local Notes for Allentown
Lehigh County Authority (Allentown Division), which supplies Allentown, reports hardness of about 13 grains per gallon (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.
