Local Notes for McLean
Fairfax Water, which supplies McLean, reports hardness of 5-10 grains per gallon (about 84-170 mg/L), moderately hard to hard; varies by location and rainfall. 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.
