What Pittsburgh Owners Should Know
Pittsburgh Water (Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority), which supplies Pittsburgh, reports hardness of moderately hard (utility's description; no numeric value given). 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.

In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
