What Pittsburgh Owners Should Know
Pittsburgh Water (Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority), which supplies Pittsburgh, reports hardness of moderately hard (utility's description; no numeric value given). Minerals affect how detergent works and can build up on washer inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a washer repair. Source: Water Quality FAQ - Pittsburgh Water
Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.

There is no statewide plumbing or trade license in Pennsylvania, so any licensing for gas piping work is set by the municipality where the work happens (Philadelphia, for example, issues its own plumber licenses). Source: Contractor Licensing (Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry)
