Laundry Notes for Birmingham, AL
Birmingham Water Works Board, which supplies Birmingham, reports hardness of 40-156 mg/L total hardness (soft to hard, varies by source/treatment plant). 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.

Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.
