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. Minerals affect how detergent works and can build up on washer inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a washer repair.
