What Stamford Owners Should Know
Aquarion Water Company (Stamford System), which supplies Stamford, reports hardness of about 2-4 grains per gallon, averaging 3 (soft to moderately 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.
