Close the interior valve feeding the bib, open the tap to drain it, and store the hose. Water trapped by a connected hose is what splits the fitting. If there is no shutoff on that branch, a plumber can tell you whether the bib is frost-free and whether the pitch drains properly. Homeowners in Eastlake ask this one too.

Hard enough to shorten the life of a water heater and to clog aerators, yes. Scale does not burst a pipe, but it narrows fixtures and it steals capacity from the tank a little at a time. Most people notice it as weaker hot-water flow rather than as a fault. Homes around Benzonia are no different.

Shut the main, then turn off power to the water heater at the breaker if the tank is part of it. Finding the exact spot can wait. Stopping the water is what limits the damage. That answer does not change between here and Mesick.
