Dallas-Fort Worth Water Quality
What is actually in Dallas-Fort Worth tap water: hardness, chlorine and chloramine, PFAS, and disinfection byproducts.
Dallas-Fort Worth tap water is generally safe to drink but contains naturally hard minerals and disinfection chemicals that affect taste, comfort, and the lifespan of plumbing and appliances.
Hardness
Most DFW homes test in the moderately hard to very hard range, commonly 7 to 11 grains per gallon.
Chlorine and chloramine
North Texas utilities use chlorine and chloramine for disinfection. Both are effective at killing pathogens but can affect taste and smell and dry out skin.
PFAS
PFAS have been detected at low levels in many municipal supplies across the country. Reverse osmosis and high-quality carbon filtration are highly effective at removing them at the point of use.
