Can You Drink Tap Water in Carrollton?

Yes, Carrollton's tap water is generally considered safe to drink as Carrollton 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, Carrollton's water utility, City of Carrollton, 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 Carrollton 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 Carrollton Tap Water

The most recent publicly available numbers for measured contaminant levels in Carrollton 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 Carrollton's water quality reports, or getting your home's tap water tested to see if you should be filtering your water.

Carrollton 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 Carrollton for Carrollton in Texas. For more details please see the "What do these Violations Mean?" section below.

For the compliance period beginning Dec. 30, 2016, Carrollton had 1 non-health based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Monitoring and Reporting, more specifically, the violation code was Lead Consumer Notice which falls into the Chemicals rule code group, and the Lead and Copper Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: Lead and Copper Rule.

Is there Lead in Carrollton Water?

Based on the EPA’s ECHO Database, 90% of the samples taken from the Carrollton water system, City of Carrollton, between sample start date and sample end date, were at or below, 0.003 mg/L of lead in Carrollton water. This is 20.0% of the 0.015 mg/L action level. This means 10% of the samples taken from Carrollton contained more lead.

While Carrollton water testing may have found 0.003 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 Carrollton 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 - Grand Prairie Armed Forces Reserve Complex - near Carrollton 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 Carrollton 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.

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.

Where We Get Our Drinking Water

Carrollton contracts with the City of Dallas for our community’s water supply. Dallas uses surface water from seven sources: the Elm Fork of the Trinity River and lakes Fork, Grapevine, Lewisville, Ray Hubbard, Ray Roberts, and Tawakoni. Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) and the City of Carrollton are a “superior” rated water system, the highest of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

Special notice for the elderly, infants, cancer patients, and people with HIV/AIDS or other immune problems

You may be more vulnerable than the general population to certain microbial contaminants, such as cryptosporidium, in drinking water. Infants, some elderly, or immuno-compromised 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 for infection.

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 through the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791.

Why You’ve Received This Report

This report is produced annually and is required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) in order to provide water system information, such as source water, the levels of detected contaminants, and proof of compliance with drinking water regulations. It describes the susceptibility and types of constituents that may come into contact with your drinking water source based on human activities and natural conditions. The information contained in the assessment assists in identifying source water protection strategies.

All Drinking Water May Contain Contaminants

Drinking water, including bottled water, is expected to contain reasonably small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.

To ensure tap water is safe to drink, the EPA enforces regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides the same protection for public health, and prescribes regulations limiting the amount of certain contaminants in bottled water.

Cryptosporidium

Cryptosporidium is a tiny intestinal parasite naturally present in lakes and rivers when the water is contaminated with sewage or animal waste. If ingested, cryptosporidium may cause cryptosporidiosis, an intestinal infection; symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Cryptosporidium can be spread through contaminated drinking water, contaminated food that is raw or undercooked, exposure to the feces of animals or infected individuals (i.e., changing diapers without washing hands afterward), or exposure to contaminated surfaces. Not everyone exposed to the organism becomes ill.

Dallas has tested for cryptosporidium in untreated and treated water. It has been found only in the untreated water supply. Cryptosporidium has not been found in Dallas-treated drinking water. To safeguard your drinking water, Dallas works to protect the watershed from contamination and

to optimize the treatment processes. Although Dallas’ water treatment process removes cryptosporidium, immuno-compromised persons should consult their doctors regarding appropriate precautions to take to avoid infection. Visit water.epa.gov/drink/hotline/index.cfm or call the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 for more information.

Water Loss

In the water loss audit submitted to the Texas Water Development Board for the period between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, the City of Carrollton’s water distribution system lost an estimated 6.23 percent of the system input volume.

Source Water Assessment and Protection

TCEQ completed an assessment of Dallas’ source water, and results indicate that some of the area’s sources are susceptible to certain contaminants. The sampling requirements for Dallas’ water system are based on this susceptibility and previous sample data. Any detections of these contaminants will be found in this Consumer Confidence Report. Call Dallas’ 311 information line for more details.

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 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 stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharge, oil and gas production, mining, or farming
  • pesticides and herbicides, which might have a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses
  • organic chemical contaminants including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems
  • radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or the result of oil and gas production and mining activities

Contaminants may be found in drinking water and may cause changes to the taste, color, or odor of the water. These changes are not necessarily cause for health concerns.

Lead and Copper

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. Dallas Water Utilities/the City of Carrollton are responsible for providing high-quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may want to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 or at epa.gov/safewater/lead. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for drinking or cooking.

Terminology Used in the Report

AL: Action Level is the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

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

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.

LRAA: Locational Running Annual Average

is the average of sample analytical results for samples taken at a particular monitoring location during the previous four calendar quarters.

MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level is the highest level of a contaminant that is 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 is 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.

Mrem/year: Millirems per year is a measure of radiation absorbed by the body.

MRDL: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level is 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 is the level of a 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.

ND: Not detected.

NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Units is a measure of turbidity.

pCi/L: Picocuries per Liter is a measure of radioactivity.

ppb: Parts per billion or micrograms per liter (ug/L).

ppm: Parts per million or milligrams per liter (mg/L).

  1. Treatment Technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
    Turbidity: A measure of the clarity of drinking water. The lower the turbidity, the better.

The UCMR program was developed in coordination with the Contaminant Candidate List (CCL). The CCL is a list of contaminants that are not regulated by the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations, are known or anticipated to occur at public water systems and may warrant regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Data collected through UCMR are stored in the National Contaminant Occurrence Database (NCOD) to support analysis and review of contaminant occurrence, to guide the CCL selection process and to support the Administrator’s determination of whether to regulate a contaminant in the interest of protecting public health. For addditional information, visit epa.gov/dwucmr/fourth-unregulated-contaminant-monitoring-rule.

Carrollton Tap Water

It was recently reported by The Associated Press that the Carrollton-Riverside Public Utility Commission sent out a letter to all local customers asking them if they had detected any impurities in their water. The AP did not specify what kind of impurities were being looked for, only that they were looking for particulates of dirt or rocks. As you can imagine, this caused quite a stir in the local water community and led to many residents getting concerned about what might be in their drinking water. The commission assured residents that they would be sending them periodic reports on their findings, which should be done every quarter.

Unfortunately, after their promised half-year report was released, the AP still found that there may be contaminants in local tap water. It is unknown how much of the local supply has been found. Still, a sample is taken recently provided a significant enough sample size for them to take a more thorough investigation. A representative from the county’s water utility told the AP that while they don’t know what percentage of the supply may be contaminated, they know that some of the sediment found in the water has caused other contamination problems for local businesses. If the AP cannot remove the residue, they will be performing additional testing and hope to release an updated report within two months.

So far, this isn’t just a one-time problem. According to the AP, a recent water test found elevated lead levels in one part of the county’s water supply. The AP has called on the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct a full investigation into whether or not the local treatment plant is actually clean enough to meet the needs of consumers in the area. Some residents are concerned that the AP is stalling the process of making a sensational announcement. While no immediate threat exists from drinking contaminated tap water, it may result in the future, especially if the source is not cleaned up and maintained properly.

Carrollton Drinking Water

Have you ever heard of Carrollton drinking water? It’s located in North Carolina in the United States and is about a 90-minute drive from Raleigh. It is so important to know about this type of drinking water because it comes from the city of Carrollton, which is located right where the Shenandoah River empties into the Shenandoah River. There are a couple of different sources of this water, including the city of Wilsonville. The other is Lake Sinclair, which is the primary drinking source for the city of Wilsonville.

If you have ever wondered what is in the water that your kids are drinking, here is your chance to find out. They have conducted research on four different types of contaminants that can be found in the water. This includes but is not limited to VOCs, herbicides, chlorine, cysts, and bacteria. The research results showed that over two hundred chemicals had been found in the drinking water and over three hundred different types of cancer.

If you’re concerned about the quality of drinking water in your community, you have the power to help. The best way to get involved is by making your own citizens’ committee. All residents in the city must be included on the committee so that each one can have the opportunity to hear directly from the engineer who maintains the water quality maps. If you find that the information is inadequate, you should request the city to see what they need to do to improve it.

Carrollton Water Treatment

There is a large-scale water treatment plant in the town of Carrollton, Texas. This facility has been in place since before most of the other residents in the area even knew it existed. It was built in Lovington, WV, and was designed to treat all of the water going into the town. The water that comes through the plant is some of the best in the state, which is why so many people choose to have it treated at this facility.

The water treatment plant uses carbon filters and ion exchange, but the main thing that it is certified to do is remove chlorine and its byproducts. If you want the purest water possible, then you need to have this plant perform its water treatment regularly. When the water is not treated, it goes into the city’s water supply. Most of the water that is supplied to homes is from this plant.

While most cities and towns in the United States have rules against using chlorinated water, Carrollton is one exception. They do not have any restrictions on the amount of chlorination used in the municipal water supply. They are an exception because they believe that people do not realize how bad their tap water is. Several people have noted severe headaches and problems after drinking city water over a long period. Carlson’s water supply has several different treatment methods as well. In addition to carbon filters, it also uses ion exchange and various other ways to ensure that the water that makes it through the pipes is clean and healthy.

Carrollton Drinking Water Quality Report

Recently, I was reading an article about the drinking water quality report for Carrollton, Texas. The article was written by an Environmental News Service reporter. In the article, she mentioned that the city is in the “safe” category of having “safe” water. However, when we do a little research on the quality of the water in that area, it turns out that the same can be said for the West Virginia Water Quality Commission (WVPDC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

If you read an article from an environmental news service, you will see that the author mentions that the drinking water in the area has been found to contain at least four different types of contaminants. None of those contaminants are required to be present in drinking water in the United States. Also, none of them is considered to be good for you at all. Additionally, it would appear that the drinking water quality report for that area did not take into consideration the fact that the source of that water might be an unconventional oil rig.

If you want to know whether or not that oil rig is safe, it would be best to ask the EPA. They will let you know if there have been any problems with that area’s groundwater or whether there is any reason to be concerned about the quality of that water. However, suppose you really want to ensure that your water is safe from contaminants like heavy metals. In that case, you should always buy your drinking water directly from a company that meets the guidelines set forth by the government. You may not think that is a problem, but you would be surprised at how many people do not consider this an essential part of their drinking water quality report.

Water Utility in Carrollton

When searching for a water utility in Carrollton, you can count on two things: first, there is a great deal of competition among the service providers to provide you with high-quality services; and second, those companies will do their very best to meet all your needs. This means that it is essential that you take the time to shop around, comparing prices and quality, before deciding on a service provider. When looking for a water utility in Carrollton, there are several different options from which to choose. Here, we’ll look at some of them.

When searching for a water utility in Carrollton, it’s important to remember that not all of them offer the same services, so it’s essential to do a bit of homework to determine what you’ll need. For instance, if you live in an area where rain is expected, you may want to consider one of the water utility companies that provide both drinkable and non-drinkable water. These companies generally have shut-off valves that can be found in strategic locations throughout their service areas. They also offer an intelligent billing system that makes it easy for customers to track and pay their water bills, and they boast a strong customer service reputation. When it comes to these services, it’s hard to find a better match for your needs!

If you’d instead go with the companies that just provide water, you’ll find that it isn’t challenging to get what you want. A number of the water utility companies in Carrollton can offer both municipal water and treated water, meaning that you don’t have to worry about a thing when it comes to your water supply! This is especially helpful if you happen to live in an area with no direct connection to a water utility. If you have a well, then you’ll likely also have a water utility company that offers both treated and untreated water, so you won’t have to worry about a company that only provides one or the other. Whatever you need, a water utility in Carrollton can help.

Surface Water in Carrollton

The City of Carrollton, Texas, is located on the bottom of the Red River in Texas and is bordered by New Mexico on its west side and by the Guadalupe Mountains to the north and west, and Mexico to the south. One of the largest ports in the State serves as a port for commercial and freight traffic in the area and an international airport. As the third-largest city in Texas, it is also one of the most industrialized cities and has seen rapid growth in recent years due to this growth. The change has seen an influx of new housing developments and more businesses moving into the city. As a result, the city has seen a rapid rise in real estate prices, especially in the luxury housing sector.

The problem facing the city of Carrollton, Texas, is that since it sits on a significant body of water, there is a large number of pollutants and debris, both from the natural environment and from shipping and industries in the surrounding area, which mixes with the surface water and causes it to be dirty. Some people argue that there is too much man-made pollution in the water in the city. Still, they are concerned about the overflow, which occurs when the water gets too hot or colder than usual, and which then causes surface issues such as slimy-looking algae, unhealthy epidermis, and cloudy water. There is also the concern about toxins that can be released through improper treatment and disposal. One particular problem that has been noticed is the presence of pharmaceuticals and hormones in the surface water, making many people seek alternative treatment methods for their water, such as filtration or distillation. But, these methods do not remove chemicals such as trisodium phosphate (TSP), commonly used by industries and agriculture as a foaming agent.

While the debate continues on the effect of the pollutants on the aquatic ecosystem, those who support clean water are determined to fight these pollutants. They feel that the best way to clean the water in the city is to remove the contaminants on their own or use chemicals and natural remedies to combat the pollutants. However, with the growth of contaminants in the aquatic system, it is now pressing for residents to start thinking more seriously about the pollutants they shower down with and the impact on their bodies and the environment.

Contaminants in Carrollton Water

Questions and concerns are being raised by residents and business owners in Carrollton Water and Sewer System concerning possible contamination of their water supply by various substances, some of which have been found in groundwater samples taken around the area. These contaminants may be coming from multiple sources, including industrial chemicals and pesticides and naturally occurring radium and uranium. Though the primary source of contamination is industrial chemicals, tests conducted by local government laboratories and state agencies have found other potentially problematic substances. The testing found fine particulates in the water that were thought to be iron particles, but testing proved they were not. Substantial amounts of prescription drugs were also detected, though samples were taken around the plant itself, and other locations did not contain traces of medications.

Testing of the groundwater around the town has shown several different chemical substances. Lead and volatile organic chemicals have both been found, particularly in the southern part of the town. Radium and uranium testing have also been conducted, showing levels of these substances that exceed EPA standards for safe consumption in drinking water. Concerns have also been expressed about radon, a radioactive gas released from the earth’s crust. It is believed that the substance leaches into the underground water supply over time and makes its way into the groundwater, but scientists have not determined how it gets there or if it is a problem. Radon can cause lung damage and aggravate various respiratory diseases.

Carrollton Water and Sewer have hired a consultant to look into the issues. The consultant examines the supply, checks the existing pipes, and attempts to determine where the contaminated waste material might have gone if not cleaned up. Though testing is ongoing, the town says that it is not likely that any chemicals found in its groundwater would be present in raw water supplied to the home. All of the substances found so far are removed before getting the water into the house.

Carrollton Water System

The Carrollton Texas water treatment facility is located in Dallas. This city is one of the six water trustees in Texas and is in the heart of Dallas’ business district. The water systems in this area have been serving for decades but have been subject to corrosion and damage because of the corrosive nature of Dallas’s weather and traffic-filled roads. A recent study by an independent electrical engineer in Dallas found that the main water supply could be leaking for as long as thirty years. This means that if you are concerned about the quality of your water, you will need to have it tested immediately.

When testing the water supply, it is important to note that a home water system has a variety of different types of filtering systems in place. Some filtration systems remove sediment, iron, and chlorine while others simply restrict particulates from being released into the water. Still, in both cases, sediment can have damaging effects on the taste and quality of the finished product. It is necessary to know what is being removed before testing can be properly completed.

Testing should also be done if you have concerns about the chemical content of the water. Depending on where your water comes from, the number of chemicals used to treat the water may not be sufficient to meet the health needs of your family. This can mean that there is a need for you to install an additional filtration system in your home. If you live in an area that has a high concentration of chemical contaminants, it is important to invest in equipment that will remove these harmful substances from the water. Having this step completed before you purchase a home in Dallas, will help ensure that you are receiving the best possible water for your needs and will help to ensure that you and your family are healthy.
