Austin Water (City of Austin), which supplies Austin, reports hardness of about 94-107 mg/L total hardness as CaCO3 at the utility's tap sampling sites (quarterly summary). 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.
