City of Newark Department of Water and Sewer Utilities, which supplies Newark, reports hardness of soft: about 46 ppm for the city's own (Pequannock) supply and 53 ppm for the Wanaque (NJDWSC) supply, per the 2020 report. 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.
