Local Notes for Louisville
Louisville Water Company, which supplies Louisville, reports hardness of about 115 mg/L as CaCO3 (6.7 grains per gallon), moderately 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.

In Kentucky, you can check a license with the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction License Search and Verification or report a problem to the Kentucky Attorney General, Office of Consumer Protection.
