Water heaters in Lakeland
In 2023 the city’s two treatment plants reported finished-water hardness of 108 mg/L (Combee) and 126 mg/L (Williams).
That is enough mineral content to shorten element life and build scale in tanks, especially in 1970s–1980s houses that make up a large share of Lakeland’s stock.
