What Boulder Owners Should Know
City of Boulder Utilities, which supplies Boulder, reports hardness of 42 mg/L average (about 2.4 grains per gallon) — soft. 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 Colorado, you can check a license with the Colorado DORA License Lookup or report a problem to the Colorado Attorney General, Consumer Protection.
