What Salt Lake City Owners Should Know
Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities, which supplies Salt Lake City, reports hardness of hard to very hard depending on source: roughly 132-194 mg/L (about 8-11 grains per gallon) at the city's treatment plants, with well water higher in places. 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.
