Anchorage Water & Wastewater Utility (AWWU), which supplies Anchorage, reports hardness of 83-130 mg/L total hardness (ppm as CaCO3), moderately hard. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
