City of Eden Prairie Water and Sewer Utilities, which supplies Eden Prairie, reports hardness of about 90 mg/L (roughly 5 grains per gallon) at the tap after city softening; untreated well water averages about 360 mg/L (about 21 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.
