What Bridgeport Owners Should Know
Aquarion Water Company (Bridgeport Main System), which supplies Bridgeport, reports hardness of averages about 3.5 grains per gallon (range 2-6 gpg). 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.
