Local Notes for El Paso
El Paso Water, which supplies El Paso, reports hardness of moderately hard to hard (the utility does not give a number). Minerals affect how detergent works and can build up on washer inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a washer repair. Source: El Paso Water: Water Quality FAQ
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, ยง1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
