East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), which supplies Oakland, reports hardness of soft for most of Oakland: Orinda treatment plant water about 16-36 ppm (1-2 gpg); areas also fed by the Upper San Leandro plant can see about 140-150 ppm (8-9 gpg). 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.
