Passaic Valley Water Commission (Main Service Area), which supplies Paterson, reports hardness of varies by supply blend: about 106-242 mg/L as CaCO3 from PVWC's Little Falls plant and about 42 mg/L from the Wanaque plant (NJDWSC); most Main Service Area customers get a blend of the two, so moderately soft to 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.
