Can You Drink Tap Water in Grand Prairie?

Yes, Grand Prairie's tap water is generally considered safe to drink as Grand Prairie has no active health based violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) that we are aware of. Other factors such as lead piping in a home, or low levels of pollutants on immunocompromised individuals, should also be considered, however. To find more recent info we might have, you can check out our boil water notice page or the city's water provider website.

According the EPA’s ECHO database, from April 30, 2019 to June 30, 2022, Grand Prairie's water utility, City of Grand Prairie, had 0 violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. For more details on the violations, please see our violation history section below. This assessment is based on the City of Grand Prairie water system, other water systems in the city may have different results.

While tap water that meets the EPA health guidelines generally won’t make you sick to your stomach, it can still contain regulated and unregulated contaminants present in trace amounts that could potentially cause health issues over the long-run. These trace contaminants may also impact immunocompromised and vulnerable individuals.

The EPA is reviewing if it’s current regulations around pollutant levels in tap water are strict enough, and the health dangers posed by unregulated pollutants, like PFAS.

Water Quality Report for Grand Prairie Tap Water

The most recent publicly available numbers for measured contaminant levels in Grand Prairie tap water are in its 2020 Water Quality Report. As you can see, there are levels which the EPA considers to be acceptable, but being below the maximum allowable level doesn’t necessarily mean the water is healthy.

Lead in tap water, for example, is currently allowed at up to 15ppb by the EPA, but it has set the ideal goal for lead at zero. This highlights how meeting EPA standards doesn’t necessarily mean local tap water is healthy.

EPA regulations continue to change as it evaluates the long term impacts of chemicals and updates drinking water acceptable levels. The rules around arsenic, as well as, lead and copper are currently being re-evaluated.

There are also a number of "emerging" contaminants that are not currently. For example, PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), for which the EPA has issued a health advisory. PFAS are called "forever chemicals" since they tend not to break down in the environment or the human body and can accumulate over time.

We recommend looking at the contaminants present in Grand Prairie's water quality reports, or getting your home's tap water tested to see if you should be filtering your water.

Grand Prairie Tap Water Safe Drinking Water Act Violation History - Prior 10 Years

Below is a ten year history of violations for the water system named City of Grand Prairie for Grand Prairie in Texas. For more details please see the "What do these Violations Mean?" section below.

Is there Lead in Grand Prairie Water?

Based on the EPA’s ECHO Database, 90% of the samples taken from the Grand Prairie water system, City of Grand Prairie, between sample start date and sample end date, were at or below, 0.001 mg/L of lead in Grand Prairie water. This is 6.7% of the 0.015 mg/L action level. This means 10% of the samples taken from Grand Prairie contained more lead.

While Grand Prairie water testing may have found 0.001 mg/L of lead in its water, that does not mean your water source has the same amount. The amount of lead in water in a city can vary greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood, or even building to building. Many buildings, particularly older ones, have lead pipes or service lines which can be a source of contamination. To find out if your home has lead, we recommend getting you water tested.

No amount of lead in water is healthy, only less dangerous. As lead accumulates in our bodies over time, even exposure to relatively small amounts can have negative health effects. For more information, please check out our Lead FAQ page.

Are there PFAS in Grand Prairie Tap Water?

Currently, testing tap water for PFAS isn’t mandated on a national level. We do have a list of military bases where there have been suspected or confirmed leaks. There appears to be at least one military base - Dallas NAS - near Grand Prairie with suspected leaks.

With many potential sources of PFAS in tap water across the US, the best information we currently have about which cities have PFAS in their water is this ewg map, which you can check to see if Grand Prairie has been evaluated for yet.

Our stance is better safe than sorry, and that it makes sense to try to purify the tap water just in case.

What do these Violations Mean?

Safe Drinking Water Act Violations categories split into two groups, health based, and non-health based. Generally, health based violations are more serious, though non-health based violations can also be cause for concern.

Health Based Violations

  1. Maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) - maximum allowed contaminant level was exceeded.
  2. Maximum residual disinfectant levels (MRDLs) - maximum allowed disinfectant level was exceeded.
  3. Other violations (Other) - the exact required process to reduce the amounts of contaminants in drinking water was not followed.

Non-Health Based Violations

  1. Monitoring and reporting violations (MR, MON) - failure to conduct the required regular monitoring of drinking water quality, and/or to submit monitoring results on time.
  2. Public notice violations (Other) - failure to immediately alert consumers if there is a serious problem with their drinking water that may pose a risk to public health.
  3. Other violations (Other) - miscellaneous violations, such as failure to issue annual consumer confidence reports or maintain required records.

INFORMATION ON

WATER SOURCES

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

  • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
  • Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
  • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.
  • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.
  • Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

OUR DRINKING WATER IS SAFE

The City of Grand Prairie’s goal is to provide you with safe and reliable drinking water. We are happy to report that our water supply meets the standards for drinking water quality as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This report is a summary of the quality of water we provide to you.

IMPORTANT HEALTH INFORMATION

Some people may be more vulnerable than the general population to certain microbial

contaminants, such as Cryptosporidium, in drinking water. Infants, some elderly, or immunocompromised persons such as those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer; those who have undergone organ transplants; those who are undergoing treatment with steroids; and people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders can be particularly at risk from infections. You should seek advice about drinking water from your physician or health care provider. Additional guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium are available.

SOURCE WATER ASSESMENT

The TCEQ completed a source water assessment and results indicate that some of our sources are susceptible to certain contaminants. The sampling requirements for our water system are based on this susceptibility and previous sample data. The susceptibility of our purchase water sources is not included in this assessment. For more information on source water assessment and protection efforts, please contact us at (972) 237-8055.

GRAND PRAIRIE WATER ORIGIN

Grand Prairie’s drinking water is obtained from both surface and ground water sources and has a “Superior” water quality rating.

Grand Prairie surface water supplies are purchased from the cities of Dallas, Fort Worth, and Midlothian. Dallas treats and uses surface water from seven sources: the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, and lakes Grapevine, Lewisville, Ray Hubbard, Ray Roberts, Tawakoni, and Fork.

Fort Worth’s drinking water sources include: Lake Benbrook, Lake Bridgeport, Eagle Mountain Lake, Lake Worth, Cedar Creek and Richland Chambers Reservoirs, and the Clear Fork Trinity River.

Midlothian’s drinking water sources include: Joe Pool Lake, Richland Chambers and the Cedar Creek Reservoirs.

Grand Prairie can utilize up to 4 ground water wells, if demand requires their usage. The wells have an average depth of 2,000 feet and are pumped from the Trinity Aquifer.

LEAD IN HOME PLUMBING

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We are responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but we cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. You can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your home’s pipes by running the tap, taking a shower, or doing laundry. This is important if the water has been sitting in the pipes for more than 6 hours. Only drink or cook with water that comes out of the tap cold. It is also recommended to regularly clean the aerators on your faucets.

The city will be conducting its required lead and copper sampling in summer of 2021. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/ safewater/lead.

Contaminants may be found in drinking water that may cause taste, color, or odor problems. These types of problems are not necessarily causes for health concerns. For more information on taste, odor, or color of drinking water, please contact the system’s business office. Call the U.S. EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

DEFINITIONS

AL (ACTION LEVEL): The concentration of a contaminant, which if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.

LEVEL 1 ASSESSMENT: A Level 1 assessment is a study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why total coliform bacteria were found.

COMMYOURN QUESTIONSWATERABOUT

RUNNING?

LEVEL 2 ASSESSMENT: A Level 2 assessment is a very detailed study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why an Escherichia coli (E. coli) maximum contaminant level (MCL) violation has occurred and/or why total coliform bacteria were found on multiple occasions.

MCL (MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL): The highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

MCLG (MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL GOAL): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

MRDL (MAXIMUM RESIDUAL DISINFECTANT LEVEL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

MRDLG (MAXIMUM RESIDUAL DISINFECTANT LEVEL GOAL): The level of drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

MREM/YEAR (MILLI-ROENTGEN EQUIVALENT MAN PER YEAR): A measure of radioactivity.

NA: Not applicable.

PCI/L (PICOCURIES PER LITER): A measure of radioactivity.

PPM (PARTS PER MILLION): One part substance per million parts of water (or milligrams per liter).

PPB (PARTS PER BILLION): One part substance per billion parts water (or micrograms per liter).

  1. (TREATMENT TECHNIQUE): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Grand Prairie’s water hardness averages 132 parts per million or 7.7 grains per gallon. This is considered “hard water”. When using hard water, soaps may perform poorly creating a “scum” which floats on the surface of the water, but does not foam. Hard water requires more soap or detergent to clean your hands, hair or laundry. Hard water can also, cause a scaling from naturally occurring minerals onto your fixtures. While hardness can be a nuisance, it is not a health concern.

WHY IS MY WATER

MILKY WHITE?

Many times this is caused by the presence of tiny air bubbles in the water. Fill a glass with water and place it on your counter. If the water starts to clear immediately from the bottom up, the cause was entrapped air bubbles. These air bubbles are harmless.

When you see a fire hydrant flowing water, the City of Grand Prairie is “flushing” the water lines in that area. This process moves water through the pipelines at a fast rate to clean the lines, clear stagnant water, and ensure the water delivered to your home is of the highest quality. While flushing may be perceived as “wasting the water”, rest assured that the City only flushes the lines when necessary.

We advise that you ask locals or hotel staff about the water quality. Also, note that different cities have different water mineral contents.

Sources and Resources

Grand Prairie Tap Water

Have you heard about the contamination of Grand Prairie tap water? It’s a pretty severe problem brought to everyone’s attention by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram—ingesting trace amounts of contaminants such as herbicides, heavy metals, pesticides can cause illnesses and can even be deadly. A recent study showed that more than one-third of the people living in the Fort Worth area have trace amounts of herbicides and pesticides in their tap water, including children who play in the community’s outdoor playgrounds.

While it’s a pretty severe problem, it is nothing that you should be too concerned about because there are other water purification options available in the market. The best way to ensure that your family’s water is pure and safe from harmful impurities is to install a home water purifier. These systems are easy to install at home and consume less energy than a water faucet, so you save money on your monthly electric bill.

Also, the best systems for filtering your tap water can remove various contaminants from your water. This includes minerals such as calcium and magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc, and traces of organic compounds such as nitrates and pesticides. By filtering your water, you are ensuring that your entire body is healthy. With all the pollutants in the air and the contaminants in your tap water, there is no wonder why cancer incidence is on the rise around the world.

Grand Prairie Drinking Water

Concerned residents of Grand Prairie know that the quality of their drinking water supply is essential to their health. If you’re worried about the safety of your Grand Prairie drinking water, there are several steps you can take to ensure that you get pure, great-tasting water all the time. First of all, make sure that you buy your water from a certified water testing laboratory in your area. That way, the lab will test your tap water for contamination and let you know if it’s safe for consumption. (You’ll be happy to know that most contaminants detected in tap water aren’t harmful, and some that are present are usually too tiny to see with the naked eye.)

Unfortunately, most people don’t have water testing labs available where they live. So when it comes to their drinking water, many people assume that what they think is safe is unsafe and end up consuming harmful drugs in massive doses. How many people do you know who consume large amounts of prescription pain killers, recreational drugs, and even small amounts of alcohol every day? The chances are that you know at least one person who does – and opportunities are they were given those drugs by a friend or relative who thought they were safe but was exposing them to drugs that can kill.

By purchasing your Grand Prairie drinking water from a reputable lab, you can feel confident that your water is safe. Also, you can be sure that the drugs you are drinking won’t harm your body. There are many different types of drugs found in Grand Prairie water, including antibiotics, mood-altering antidepressants, sex hormones, and cancer drugs. Don’t waste your life-consuming drugs – save yourself and everyone you know a lot of money, and find a water purifier that fits your lifestyle. It’s easy to do and will help ensure that your Grand Prairie water is good enough for consumption.

Grand Prairie Water Quality Report

This report from the Grand Prairie water quality report team comes in response to a request to explain the various problems that have been noted across the city. Specifically, the group is interested in learning why there has been a significant amount of sediment in our water supply. Have you ever noticed the bags of sediment left behind on your driveway due to heavy rains? They’re nearly as small as a pebble, and they often stick to cars and sidewalks until they are washed away in the upcoming rains. This problem is common in cities like Grand Prairie because there is not enough of this particular nutrient to allow our water to function and maintain itself properly.

One of the reasons why there is so much sediment in our water supply is because it is not regulated well enough to prevent it from entering the water system. For instance, some wastewater is used to treat our sewage water before being sent out into our lakes and rivers. There is nothing that prevents these wastewater treatment plants from introducing large amounts of sediments into the water. Whenever there is significant rainfall, these sediments are carried along with them. This is why you often see larger-scale storms coming through our area with heavy amounts of sediment and even tree roots. All it takes is one extensive rainfall, and your water quality report will reveal a lack of sediment in your water.

To help remedy the situation, the Grand Prairie water quality report team recommends that all of us take steps to ensure that sediment does not end up being a problem in our water. Sediment can easily be removed using a water softener that will keep out large particles and keep your water soft. By doing this, we are removing the reason why there is so much sediment in our water supply in the first place!

Grand Prairie Water Treatment

Grand Prairie water treatment services are a step above the other systems in the area. If you want clean, clear, toxin-free drinking water, then you have to have a system of your own. The Grand Prairie water treatment system uses a patented distillation process that kills harmful cysts and bacteria while leaving healthy, natural minerals in the water. It also utilizes an ion-exchange method that purifies the water while leaving essential trace minerals intact. Using these two steps together, you eliminate the need for chlorine, herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, or benzene, all of which can be hazardous to your health.

Another reason that it’s better to get a Grand Prairie water treatment system than some other systems is that it uses various filters. You can choose from multi-stage selective filtration, sub-micron filtration, and ion exchange. These filters ensure that you get only clean, pure water. By eliminating cysts and algae from the water, you also eliminate cancer risk caused by ultraviolet radiation. You will also see a dramatic improvement in your mineral and pH balance, which have a profound effect on the taste of your drinking water.

Grand Prairie is committed to protecting its customers’ health and providing the most effective treatment solutions possible. They use the latest technology to ensure that every home is treated with the highest quality equipment. By choosing a Grand Prairie water treatment system, you are not only getting excellent quality water, but you are also saving money and the environment.

Grand Prairie Water Utility

If you live in the Grand Prairie area and require a water utility company, you will have to make a couple of choices. Whether or not you would like to be hooked up to a city water utility or if you would prefer to have a private water plant that supplies your water. If you decide that you will have a city water utility, you will be required by law to purchase a city water bill each month. The great thing about having a water bill is that you will know exactly how much water your family uses. This will allow you to plan your household expenses. If you are one of those who only use a quarter of a liter of water per day, you might want to think twice about getting hooked up to a city water utility.

If you prefer to have your water utility company do all of the work, you can call a couple of companies. One is Plains Electric, which provides electric hot water and electric water heat. Another is Gold Star Electric, which offers both types of water. If you live in an area where earthquakes are common, you should consider one of these companies because they provide disaster relief.

If you are interested in having a water utility company come to your home, the first step is to look into a few companies. Call around and ask people you know for recommendations. After you have a few companies’ names that you feel you can trust, it will be time to start looking at their rates. Compare what a specific company offers and make your decision based on your budget and your needs.

The Grand Prairie area of Texas has been a popular spot for many years for hunters and fishers.

The best times to visit this lake are the late fall and spring when the fish are spawning, and you will be able to find some considerable fish coming out of the deep fry. In the summer months, the waters are warm enough that the fish will stay close to the surface for feeding but still be very active. There are even reports that this area has had some fantastic catches over the years, including 18-inch minnows, black bass, and even a report of a record-breaking 20-pound bass!

If you are looking for just a taste of nature, you will not want to miss the wildlife watching you can get here. You will see various amazing animals, ranging from a few deer to elk, and even coyotes, at one time or another in the Grand Prairie area of Texas.

Grand Prairie Drinking Water Standards

Are you concerned about Grand Prairie’s drinking water quality? Have you had enough time to research this area and determine if your concerns are justified? I have spoken with several people in the area, and some of them have made complaints to the EPA regarding drinking water contamination. They were told that the only way to ensure that Grand Prairie is protected against chemicals and contaminants is to regulate the treatment facilities themselves. I believe this is a real problem but do anything necessary to protect yourself and your family.

There are five different drinking water systems in the city of Grand Prairie. Grand Prairie’s city operates them, and they are all within walking distance to the downtown area. If one of these systems is found to be providing contaminated or dangerous water, the consequences to the community will be felt for many years. These five treatment facilities include the Southwestern Water Treatment Center, the North West Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility, the Star City Treatment Center, the Prairie Valley Water Treatment Center, and the Odessa Treatment Center. These treatment centers are all required by the EPA to continually test for new contaminants, and they are subject to periodic re-testings. If further information comes out that contaminates are present, they must update their methods and testing procedures.

What can you do to protect your health? You can buy an air filter for your home, or you can install one at your place of employment. Both of these options are very affordable, and they can provide you with excellent protection. Your health is essential, and you deserve the best protection possible. Protecting yourself from contaminants is just as important as the drinking water standards applied to the community.

Grand Prairie Water Contaminants

Grand Prairie is a beautiful community in north-central Texas, it is a very charming city with lots of shops and restaurants to visit, lots of recreational and business opportunities in the city. However, according to documents from the Texas Environmental Commission (TXEC), contamination of Grand Prairie water supplies has been an ongoing problem for several years now, despite having the “red light” sign displayed at many cities’ water intake points. If you are a resident of the city or considering purchasing property here, you need to know what kinds of contaminants have been coming into the city and how you can get rid of them.

According to the TXEC documents, Grand Prairie had had its share of contamination issues in the past. These contaminations in the city’s drinking water include nitrates, carcinogens, pesticides, bacteria, heavy metals, TCE (trichloroethylene), and chlorine. As if that was not enough, other contaminants have not been detected yet, including organic compounds, naturally occurring radioactive compounds, cysts, cystoliths, and microorganisms. If you drink Grand Prairie’s drinking water and do not have any serious medical problems, chances are you are safe. But what about your family?

There are many contaminants in our environment, including some that we don’t even realize are there. But, none of these pollutants come anywhere near your home, your body, or your drinking water, as the vast majority of them are so small, you would not even notice them. One thing you can do to ensure your and your family’s safety is to regularly test your water for contaminants, either by yourself or by contracting with an independent water quality testing company. There are plenty of companies out there offering testing services, so you won’t have to spend too much time searching. Just be sure that the company you choose has the latest reverse osmosis equipment and filtration technology and is accredited by the Better Business Bureau.
