What Santa Monica does
to a washer.

After reverse osmosis softening at the Arcadia plant, the city's local water averaged 106 parts per million of hardness in 2024.

Water imported from Metropolitan's Weymouth plant averaged 272 parts per million that year, more than twice as hard.

Through the city's advanced metering project, Santa Monica customers can watch their water use and get alerts about possible leaks on their property.

On the water

When surge water comes in, the laundry on the lowest level is usually its first stop. Once floodwater has reached a washer's base, the motor, pump and control board have to be opened, dried and tested before it goes back on power, however clean the cabinet looks.

Small homes

Getting at the pump of a closet-bound stacked or 24-inch washer can mean unstacking the dryer or walking the washer forward inch by inch. Floor protection and a steady hand on the supply valves come with that territory.

Mixed housing

Older homes may still have rubber supply hoses and multi-turn valves behind the washer, while newer ones have braided hoses and quarter-turn shutoffs, and the difference shows up when a hose finally fails. Swapping to braided hoses is simple insurance on blocks like these.
