Dishwasher Notes for Milwaukee, WI
Milwaukee Water Works, which supplies Milwaukee, reports hardness of about 137 mg/L (range 112-142 mg/L), roughly 8 grains per gallon; the utility calls it moderately 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.
