Laundry Notes for Milwaukee, WI
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.
