What Milwaukee Owners Should Know
Milwaukee Water Works, which supplies Milwaukee, reports hardness of about 137 mg/L (range 112-142 mg/L), roughly 8 grains per gallon; the utility calls it moderately hard. 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. Source: Milwaukee Water Works: Water hardness FAQ
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices. Source: DSPS: Plumbing License Laws in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
