City of Lancaster Bureau of Water, which supplies Lancaster, reports hardness of about 98 mg/L (6 grains per gallon) from the Susquehanna plant and 222 mg/L (13 grains per gallon) from the Conestoga plant (moderately hard 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.
