KC Water (Missouri River source), which supplies Kansas City, reports hardness of about 100 mg/L (5-6 grains per gallon) on average, 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: KC Water - Water Quality Topics
In Missouri, you can report a problem to the Missouri Attorney General's Office, Consumer Protection.
