What Pittsburgh Owners Should Know
Pittsburgh Water (Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority), which supplies Pittsburgh, reports hardness of moderately hard (utility's description; no numeric value given). 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: Water Quality FAQ - Pittsburgh Water
Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.

In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
