Local Notes for Worcester
Worcester Department of Public Works, Water Operations, which supplies Worcester, reports hardness of averages about 30 ppm (mg/L), with a reported range of roughly 22-55 ppm (soft). 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.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
