What Lexington Owners Should Know
Kentucky American Water (Central Division), which supplies Lexington, reports hardness of about 149-161 mg/L as CaCO3 on average (about 9 grains per gallon) across its Lexington-area treatment plants (moderately hard to hard). Minerals affect how detergent works and can build up on washer inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a washer repair.

In Kentucky, you can check a license with the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction License Search and Verification or report a problem to the Kentucky Attorney General, Office of Consumer Protection.
