Poughkeepsies' Water Treatment Facility (owned and operated by the City and Town of Poughkeepsie), which supplies Poughkeepsie, reports hardness of 74.5 mg/L average (about 4.4 grains per gallon; range 57-120 mg/L) — 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.
