Around Columbia
Columbia Water (City of Columbia), which supplies Columbia, reports hardness of averages about 36 ppm as CaCO3 (range roughly 20-47 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.
