Local Notes for Brentwood
Brentwood Water Services (City of Brentwood), buying treated Cumberland River water from Metro Water Services and Harpeth Valley Utilities District, which supplies Brentwood, reports hardness of about 98 ppm on average (range 80-128 ppm), 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.
