Laundry Notes for Cincinnati, OH
Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW), which supplies Cincinnati, reports hardness of about 125 mg/L (7 gpg) from the Miller plant (Ohio River) and about 138 mg/L (8 gpg) from the Bolton plant (groundwater), per GCWW's annual report (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.
