What Glenview Owners Should Know
Village of Glenview (Lake Michigan water purchased from the Village of Wilmette), which supplies Glenview, reports hardness of about 141-142 mg/L as CaCO3 (roughly 8.3 grains per gallon). 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.
