Around Minneapolis
Minneapolis Water Works (City of Minneapolis Public Works), which supplies Minneapolis, reports hardness of about 93 mg/L (5.4 grains per gallon) total hardness as CaCO3 in plant effluent, monthly average. 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.

Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
