City of Newark Department of Water and Sewer Utilities, which supplies Newark, reports hardness of soft: about 46 ppm for the city's own (Pequannock) supply and 53 ppm for the Wanaque (NJDWSC) supply, per the 2020 report. 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.
