Around Cambridge

Cambridge Water Department, which supplies Cambridge, reports hardness of about 50-70 mg/L (roughly 3-4 grains per gallon; slightly 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.
