WATER PROFILE

What the water means for the glass

Concord General Services delivers water to Concord from surface (lake/reservoir) at 160 mg/L (CaCO₃). That is hard for a US municipal supply. On Concord glass that residency means visible spotting on dark glazing over extended dry-down and noticeable lower-sash residue over the working year. The local operating practice is a citric finish-rinse on long-residence glass and standard squeegee-and-scrim technique elsewhere.
