City of Woburn Department of Public Works (Water Division), with supplemental MWRA water, which supplies Woburn, reports hardness of 89 mg/L (ppm) in treated water from the Horn Pond Water Treatment Plant (moderately hard). Minerals affect how detergent works and can build up on washer inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a washer repair.

Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
